Deutsche Schule der Borromäerinnen Kairo is a German international school for girls in Cairo. It follows the KMK framework for Grades 1–12, serving about 620 pupils in that range and 120 in Kindergarten and Vorschule, taught by 50 teachers and 12 Erzieherinnen. The school teaches four languages—German, Arabic, English and French—with Arabic from Grade 1, English from Grade 4 and French from Grade 6. In Grundschule, the gymnasiale Mittelstufe begins in Grade 5; upper levels lead to the Allgemeine Hochschulreife as Deutsches Internationales Abitur. After Grade 9 students take the Adadeya examination and after Grade 12 the Thanaweyaprüfung. A Studien- und Berufsberatung provides early guidance, with cooperation agreements with universities in Germany and Egypt. Facilities include a library of about 8,500 books in four languages, a Mensa, a Schulklinik, and on-site support from the Konvent der Borromäerinnen in Maadi. Extracurriculars include choirs, MUN, Debating, DELF, and Sozial-AG for all students.
