A member of ECIS, NESA, COBIS and BSME, MES Cairo is a multi-national, co-educational, English-language medium, international school that caters for students from Foundation Stage One to Secondary (Year/Grade 12).

Our well-resourced Foundation Stage provides an excellent start for formal education with the Early Years goals at its core. Students then progress to a curriculum based on the highly regarded National Curriculum of England (KS1 and KS2). Primary children follow a learning programme similar to that of a good progressive British school, with the addition of French, Arabic and Religious Studies. Students learn via the best of both modern and well-established teaching techniques, with great importance placed on the creation and use of a stimulating learning environment. Having the expertise of specialist French, PE, Music, Computing and Special Educational Needs teachers further strengthens our Primary School. When students have completed their Primary education, they are well prepared for the further challenges that Secondary education will bring.

A broad and balanced curriculum is offered within all three curricula areas of our Secondary section: British (Y7-12: KS3 followed by IGCSEs, then AS/A Levels), American Section (G7-12: Middle School followed by High School Diploma and Advanced Placement courses) and the IB Diploma Programme (DP11-12). Students select options from a range of subjects to suit their interests and specialisms. We boast specialist Science Labs, Computer facilities, drama studios, art studios, music rooms, and a fully equipped Design and Technology workshop. Arabic and Religious Studies are taught throughout the school. Our students are very well prepared for higher education, achieving excellent results in external examinations compared to national and global standards; they go on to study at some of the best universities in the world.

The school is located on an impressive 32,500m2 landscaped campus in the clean and well-positioned suburb of New Cairo. The campus architecture is designed to promote a family atmosphere. The sports complex contains volleyball and basketball courts, two heated and covered swimming pools, a full-size football pitch, all-weather athletics track, gymnasium, weights and cardio room and a dance studio.
