International School Fees Egypt: Budget to Premium

Egypt (Cairo, Alexandria and other cities) has a mix of international schools – from budget to premium British, IB and American options. This guide outlines fee ranges and example schools so you can make an informed choice.

Quick overview of fee ranges (annual tuition, indicative)

• Budget: Roughly EGP 150,000–280,000 per year (primary). Newer or smaller schools, recognised curricula. Note: EGP can be volatile; USD-equivalent comparisons help.
• Mid-tier: Roughly EGP 320,000–550,000 per year (primary). Established schools, good facilities.
• Premium: Roughly EGP 600,000–950,000+ per year (primary). Top facilities, strong IGCSE/IBDP.

Secondary and exam years are typically higher.

• Currency: some schools quote in USD; clarify payment currency and any FX risk.
