American Curriculum International Schools in Cairo, Egypt

American-curriculum international schools in Cairo generally follow a US-style K - 12 programme leading to an American high-school diploma, with many offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses and a small number providing dual pathways into the IB Diploma in upper years. Instruction is principally in English, while Arabic language, national social-studies and religion classes are taught in line with Egyptian Ministry of Education requirements for Egyptian nationals; some schools also offer additional modern languages such as French or Spanish. Annual tuition varies widely across the city - recent guides show anything from lower-fee options up to premium American schools, with typical mid-market figures often quoted in local guides and some premium schools charging in the USD band - and many schools add capital levies, transport and activity charges on top of base fees. Admissions follow the Egyptian school year (usually a September start), with formal application windows at many schools, placement tests or interviews, and waiting lists in popular year groups, so relocating families should begin enquiries several months before arrival and check visa/residency documentation and fee currency (EGP versus USD) before committing.
