El Alsson School was established in 1982 as a private English school, licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Education. In 1992, in response to numerous requests by parents for an alternative style of education to the Ministry’s National programme, the English Academy International as it was called at the time was opened, offering the British curriculum leading to Cambridge IGCSE, A/S and A-Levels.
The school then had two tracks: the Egyptian National leading to the Sanawi’ama exam, and the International, leading to Cambridge IGCSE, AS and A-Level.

“Education is about preparing children for life”. Over and above traditional teaching is another level of learning what good schools offer. Good schools offer ‘extra curricular activities,’ where children learn through clubs, sports, musical productions and drama, trips and excursions. Good schools also believe that they should be preparing students for life, and provide academic and social help, guidance, counselling and special educational support, and in particular programmes that develop character and confidence.

Personal, social and health education features in the timetable of good schools. Children learn about themselves, about relationships with their friends, about honesty and morals, Learning to Lead, MUN’s and senior school Leadership Programs, charity work helping others by giving time and effort, not just money, learning to care, advising and supporting younger children, learning to hold fair and balanced opinions and learning to listen to others. Alongside good grades and academic achievements, when these values are learnt we believe our students are ready to go out into the real world.
