IB Curriculum International Schools in Cairo, Egypt

IB international schools in Cairo commonly offer the IB continuum - the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) programmes - and are usually delivered in English with Arabic taught as a host/compulsory language and French or other modern languages available at some schools. Fees vary widely across the city: in 2026 headline tuition commonly sits in a broad band from a few thousand US dollars at smaller or mid-tier schools to more than US$25,000 a year at full secondary IB campuses, with many schools now quoting or billing in US dollars or indexing Egyptian-pound fees to the dollar; expect additional costs for transport, registration deposits, capital levies and IB exam entries. The dominant intake is for the September academic year and applications for the following September typically open in the autumn, with the main window running through the winter months; many schools also operate rolling admissions and popular year groups can begin to close from early spring. Most international campuses are concentrated in New Cairo and the west-side satellite suburbs (Sheikh Zayed / 6th of October), so commute times and traffic should be factored into any school choice.
