Modern English School Cairo is a purpose-built, multi-curriculum international school located in New Cairo. It admits students aged 3 to 18 and offers a choice of British Curriculum pathways (Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels, Cambridge A Levels), the American Curriculum, and the IB Diploma Programme. Early Years follows play-based learning, with later progression to Key Stages under the English National Curriculum, adapted for local context and international culture. In Secondary, families can follow the British route (KS3 with GCSE/IGCSE, then AS/A Levels) or the American route (Middle School to High School Diploma). At Year 10, the International Baccalaureate DP can be pursued for graduation. The school sits on a purpose-built campus in New Cairo with green spaces, a central 400-seat theatre, and specialist facilities for Science, Art, Music, Dance, Computing and Design Technology. Extensive sports facilities accompany a broad enrichment program, including ASAs, trips, productions, and the International Award.
