About international schools in Egypt
International international schools in Egypt cover a wide spectrum: many follow British (Cambridge/IGCSE/A-level) or American programmes and an increasing number offer the International Baccalaureate, while French and German sections and bilingual Egyptian - English models also exist. Fees vary significantly across the market, with lower-cost bilingual or budget international options at the bottom end and mainstream British/American programmes and IB paths in a mid tier; families should expect large differences between city centres (Cairo/Alexandria) and smaller cities. The academic year is normally organised around a September start for the main intake, with applications and assessments often required several months earlier and occasional mid-year places available; schools also follow Ministry of Education rules on Arabic and national-curriculum subjects for students in Egypt. When comparing affordable international schools, look beyond headline fees to accreditation, language-support (EAL), what Arabic provision is offered, and the practicalities of location, transport and extra charges.
