In October 1990, Modern English School Cairo opened its doors with only 28 students enrolled. Its reputation and standing in the community grew quickly. As the school population increased, improved facilities were built, culminating in the move to an impressive purpose-built campus in New Cairo. In a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, our students are encouraged to care for each other, seek challenge and be inspired.
Modern English School Cairo is not just an "Outstanding" school; it is a 'home away from home' for all who work, study and spend most of the hours of the day here learning and contributing to the lives of others.
Modern English School Cairo offers a dynamic and vibrant learning environment where members of the school community feel cared for, challenged and inspired! We are regarded as a top contender in international education in Egypt and the MENA region, maintaining a reputation for providing quality educational opportunities for our students for almost three decades. With 2200 students from EYFS to the completion of Secondary school, most of our students are with us for their 14-year journey then leave us to take up places at some of the best universities around the world, including the UK, US, Canada and Egypt. Our purpose is to prepare future generations of leaders through an enriched curriculum which balances academic, creative and social development of the individual. We boast a teaching community of 165 properly qualified teachers, capitalising on their varied professional and life experiences to inform an approach to teaching that best suits our context, our learners and our purpose. Our school campus is well-equipped and generously resourced; specialist classrooms and outdoor areas provide learning environments which are conducive to authentic engagement. MES Cairo is an 'outstanding' school and we have much to be proud of: our past, our present and our future.
Modern English School Cairo is a learning community which provides a high quality education for children from Foundation Stage 1 to university entrance level, serving the needs of Egyptian and international families in Cairo. Our broad education is based upon the British Curriculum in Primary. In Secondary, we offer a choice between a British Curriculum, an American Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Arabic and Religious Studies are taught throughout the school.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
My kids are at MES. They love school and I am very happy with their learning. The teachers are good. They are all foreign and sometimes don't understand the culture and expectations but most are great and really care. The best ones stay a while and really get to know our kids. The comments above are a bit unkind. I don't think that teacher stayed long and he taught my nephew but didn't seem to like Egypt. The school offers great education beyond the academic stuff. My son went to Switzerland skiing this year for the first time. My daughter will go to Cyprus when she is Year 6 next year. We just had a great 24hr Run event to fundraise for a community charity project. That's what I want my kids to learn about and MES does a great job of that. It's hard to get your kids in, but worth it. I am biased but it's the best school in Egypt!

This is a rather duplicitous 'school', where the emphasis is on 'show' rather than education. The management have a bullying philosophy and student behaviour is diabolical. There is very little job satisfaction for teachers, who are constantly harangued and bullied by the inept and ineffective management, trying to justify their positions. Salaries are good, but MES Cairo work their teachers so hard, getting their 'pound of flesh' and forcing teachers to remain in school for hours after the school day. A poor establishment. Don't be fooled by the facade. Behind the facade it is rotten.
