International Schools in Alexandria, Egypt

Alexandria’s international schools are a small but diverse group that typically offer British (National Curriculum/IGCSE/A-Level), American (US diploma/AP), International Baccalaureate and a French pathway alongside bilingual Arabic - English options; the French Lycée has a long-established presence in the city. Fee levels in Alexandria are generally lower than in Cairo’s premium sector but vary widely by curriculum, age and campus, with published annual tuition commonly falling in the tens to low hundreds of thousands of Egyptian pounds at many schools; expect additional one-off registration, transport and capital levies. The school year follows the Egyptian pattern (main intake for September) and established schools open their main admissions window in the months ahead of September, while many also accept transfers on a rolling basis subject to assessment and available places. Relocating families should factor in compulsory Arabic (and in some cases religion or national-studies) requirements, transport logistics and whether the school’s calendar, language support and accreditation match your long-term plans for curriculum transfer or university entry.
