In Brief
Solid choice for families in eastern New Cairo or Rehab City who want an established British school with IGCSE and A-Levels at EGP fees. Compare IGCSE results directly with MES and CES before committing.
One of Cairo's oldest GEMS network schools, TBS sits in Rehab City - a planned community about 30 km east of central Cairo on the Suez road. Around 1,000 students follow the British National Curriculum from Foundation Stage through A-Levels. The GEMS network brings curriculum oversight and accreditation depth, and the school claims some of the highest IGCSE scores in Cairo - a claim worth verifying by requesting the most recent results breakdown.
The campus runs to around 9,000 sq m, but students get year-round access to Rehab City's sporting club, which extends the co-curricular offer meaningfully. The Makerspace and CAST programme - Creativity, Activity, Service, Teamwork - are prominently marketed. Long-term retention is notable: some families have been at TBS for over ten years, which suggests consistent satisfaction with the day-to-day experience.
Fees are in EGP (2024-25: EGP 100,750 for Pre-School to EGP 225,599 for Year 12), which removes currency risk but also means the fee base in USD terms is modest. The school has no published parent reviews on international platforms to draw on directly. Families considering TBS should request the most recent IGCSE and A-Level results by subject, ask about teacher nationality and turnover, and visit during a normal school day rather than relying on the GEMS network name alone.
What parents value
- –EGP-denominated fees from EGP 100,750 (Pre-School) to EGP 225,599 (Year 12) remove currency exposure entirely - a meaningful advantage in a market where GBP- and USD-fee schools carry exchange-rate risk. Sibling discounts of 5%, 10% and 15% and a 5% early-payment reduction add further flexibility.
- –GEMS network membership brings structured curriculum oversight, professional development, and accreditation that smaller independent Cairo schools cannot match. Year-round access to Rehab City's sporting club expands PE and activity options beyond the on-campus 9,000 sq m footprint.
Points of consideration
- –The claim of highest IGCSE scores in Cairo is unverified by published data. Request the most recent full IGCSE and A-Level results by subject before choosing for the exam years.
- –Rehab City is on the eastern edge of New Cairo, off the Suez road. For families in Maadi, Zamalek or central Cairo, the commute is considerable - map the journey in school-day conditions before applying.
