The International American School of Alexandria (IAS) offers Kindergarten through Grade 12 on an American curriculum in English, with native-speaker staff guiding the language arts program. Classical Arabic is taught as a native language, alongside formal Egyptian National Studies, including Egyptian History, Religion, and Arabic. ESL supports students who need English language development, while French begins in Grade 1 and Spanish is offered in Grade 9. Founded by Mr. and Mrs. Ashraf Wahby, IAS started as a hopeful vision for Egypt's children and grew from a nursery into a K–12 community. In the mid-2000s land was acquired, and by 2006 the school expanded to Grades 1–6, with facility additions. Plans for a swimming pool, indoor cafeteria, gymnasium, and auditorium were complemented by new classrooms, science labs, and a library. The school emphasizes leadership, service, and character through its Honor System and co-curricular offerings, including academic, cultural, and language activities.
