In brief
Maadi-based English-medium school established in 1993, running the British curriculum through to IGCSE alongside the Egyptian national track. Located on Al Ofouk Street in Zahraa Al Maadi.
Cambridge International and Edexcel licensed, with a kindergarten-through-secondary spread aimed at the Maadi multinational community. Smaller and more contained than the new-build New Cairo schools, which suits families who want a settled, walkable Maadi school rather than a flagship campus. No A-Levels, IB or AP at present, so high-school families looking for top-tier exit routes typically use this as a primary or lower-secondary base before transferring.
Public signal is light and mixed. Long-tenure families speak warmly about the teaching staff and the close school community, with an active Parent-Teacher Council running events through the year. Thinner outside feedback pulls the average down, but specific complaints are not consistent. Best fit for Maadi families who want IGCSE without the commute.
