Curricula
There are 57 international schools in Egypt covering 19 curricula. The most widely offered are British Curriculum (29), American Curriculum (27), Cambridge IGCSE (25), IB (DP) (20), Cambridge A Levels (14). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across Egypt runs from about EGP 500 to EGP 375,000, averaging roughly EGP 128,548. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Egypt run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
Most schools here are day schools; check individual profiles for any boarding options.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Egypt we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
