About international schools in Hurghada, Egypt

Hurghada’s international schools are a small, mixed set of providers that serve both expat families connected to tourism and local families seeking English- or European-style programmes. You will find British and American tracks, a handful of schools that follow German, French or Russian systems, and some schools offering IB or international diploma options; Arabic remains a compulsory subject in nearly all schools. Tuition levels in Hurghada are generally below the top Cairo schools but vary widely by curriculum, age and facilities, and families should expect additional one-off charges for registration, uniforms, transport and external exams. Admissions usually follow the Egyptian international-school calendar (the new academic year typically starts in early September) and popular year groups fill months in advance, so start enquiries and paperwork several months before you need a place.

FAQs for Egypt

Which curricula and languages will my child be able to study in Hurghada?
Hurghada schools commonly offer British and American curricula alongside a number of specialist options (for example German, French or Russian systems) and some schools include IB or A-level pathways at upper secondary. English is the main language of instruction in most international tracks, Arabic is taught as required by Egyptian regulation, and schools frequently offer additional modern languages such as French or German where their curricula demand it.
How much do international schools in Hurghada usually cost?
Fees vary substantially by school, year group and curriculum; locally published fee schedules show annual tuition from the low tens of thousands of Egyptian pounds at smaller English-medium or nursery providers up to significantly higher sums for full K - 12 international programmes at secondary level. Expect extra costs on top of headline tuition for application/registration fees, payment deposits, uniforms, books, bus services, external exam charges and overseas trips, and always check the current published fee schedule with the school.
When should we apply and how does the admissions rhythm work?
Most international schools in Egypt open applications for the following September intake many months in advance and run assessments or interviews during late spring and summer, so begin enquiries at least three to six months before your preferred start date and earlier for popular year groups. Mid-year places are sometimes available but are more limited; schools typically require an application form, previous school reports and an assessment or trial day before confirming a place.
What documents and residency requirements should we prepare?
Schools usually ask for the child’s passport and arrival stamp, copies of parents’ passports, vaccination records, recent school reports and a transfer certificate or transcript where relevant. Many international schools also require a valid Egyptian residence permit or a visa-status confirmation before final enrolment, though some will accept a visa-application receipt while the residency permit is being processed - check each school’s admissions page for exact requirements.
What should I look for on a school visit in Hurghada?
Focus on whether the school holds recognised accreditation or external inspection, how it manages safeguarding and pastoral care, and whether teacher qualifications and staff turnover meet your expectations. Also check class sizes, the availability of English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) support, practical matters such as school transport and health provision, and the pathway the school offers at secondary level (national thanaweya/ammi, IB, A-levels or a US diploma) if you plan to move on to universities outside Egypt.
