The school was established in 1982 as a private English school licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Education. It evolved into El Alsson British International School after becoming an official Edexcel GCSE, AS and A-Levels centre in 2001. In 2006 the American Section was introduced, closing the National Ministry track, and the school became El Alsson British & American International School. In 2017 a new campus opened at NewGiza, spanning 14 feddans, with two schools—the British School and the American School—sharing the site.
Alumni reunions have been held at Haraneya and NewGiza campuses, including a 2022 gathering at NewGiza. The school emphasizes community service as part of its educational philosophy, with activities such as Charity Day. Parent involvement is fostered through a Parent Council relaunched in 2022 to enhance engagement across school life.
