Wycombe Abbey International Cairo East
First Wycombe Abbey school in MENA, opened September 2025 in the Diplomatic District of Egypt's New Administrative Capital.
In brief
First Wycombe Abbey school in MENA, opened September 2025 in the Diplomatic District of Egypt's New Administrative Capital. A WMC Educational Foundation venture in partnership with ACUD, the developer of the New Capital, and licensed to the Wycombe Abbey UK brand.
Year one runs from age 3 to Year 5, with the campus designed to grow into a full EYFS to Year 13 all-through co-ed school. Around 58,000 square metres of build, with swimming pool, gym, sports pitches, labs, music and art studios. Curriculum is Cambridge International, framed by the Wycombe Abbey philosophy and supported by the Wycombe Abbey International network behind the Changzhou and Hong Kong campuses.
Families weighing it are choosing the New Capital itself as much as the school: the area is still being built out and daily logistics depend on where the family lives. Too new for any meaningful parent voice. The decision is essentially a bet on the operator and the New Capital plan, both of which are well-resourced but unproven for early years and primary in this specific location.
