Egypt British International School (EBIS) sits within the International Schools Campus alongside another on-site campus, educating about 4,000 students from nursery to Year 12 across two campuses. EBIS follows the British National Curriculum with an international perspective and a strong emphasis on culture and heritage.

Language acquisition begins at age five and a half and continues through Key Stage 4. The campus supports extensive co-curriculars with year-round camps and participation in events like the BSME Games. Distinctive features include a Paris Saint-Germain Academy Egypt sports partnership and a Student Council-driven community program with Share a Smile. EBIS's mission is Enriching – Exploring – Excelling.
