Cities / Cairo / Westcliff International School

Westcliff International School

Trilingual school in El-Mariouteya on the Giza side, near Sakkara Road, pitched as the first international school in Egypt to give Arabic, English and French equal timetable weight rather than treating English or French as a foreign language.



Trilingual school in El-Mariouteya on the Giza side, near Sakkara Road, pitched as the first international school in Egypt to give Arabic, English and French equal timetable weight rather than treating English or French as a foreign language.

Founded and led by Dr Omar Nassar, the school runs parallel American and British sections through to the American Diploma and Cambridge IGCSE. The trilingual track works through a partnership with the Institut Français d'Égypte for the French side, with DELF as the external benchmark. Class sizes of 15 to 22, fee point well below the headline international schools.

The pitch lands for Egyptian families who want their children fluent in three languages without sending them to a francophone school like Lycée or Collège de la Salle. Public review traffic is thin and most of what circulates is the school's own marketing material, so families should visit and ask for outcome data on IGCSE and DELF results before committing.
