Misr International School is one of the established IB schools in the east of the capital, listed on our Cairo city hub and among the schools covered in our roundup of IB schools in Cairo. The full IB continuum is still relatively uncommon in Egypt, so a school in Nasr City that runs the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes together gives families in the eastern districts an option that keeps a single educational framework from the early years to university entry.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment from schools and nothing here was placed because a school paid for it. The facts below were researched from the school and public sources at the time of writing, and anything we could not confirm is marked not published rather than guessed.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Misr International School runs the full IB continuum, beginning with the Primary Years Programme for children from around age 3, continuing through the Middle Years Programme in the lower and middle secondary years, and finishing with the Diploma Programme for students aged roughly 16 to 19. The continuum approach means a child can move through one coherent inquiry based framework from the early years to the final examinations rather than switching systems partway, which is the main reason families choose a continuum school.
The school is an IB World School accredited by Cognia, the body formerly known as AdvancED, which evaluates the whole institution rather than a single programme. For families weighing the IB against the British or American routes offered elsewhere in the city, our IB Diploma guide explains how the Diploma is assessed and how its breadth compares with the more specialised alternatives.

Misr International School fees
Misr International School sits in the mid part of the Cairo IB market. Our Cairo international school fees guide places established IB schools of this type below the dollar pegged premium charged by the largest campuses, with tuition rising stage by stage from the Primary Years to the Diploma years. Like most international schools in the city it may quote in or peg to US dollars to manage movements in the Egyptian pound, so confirm the current schedule and billing currency directly before you budget from abroad.
Tuition is only part of the bill. Budget for a one off registration or enrolment charge, a place confirmation deposit, school transport across the eastern districts, lunches, uniform, trips and activities, and in the Diploma years the IB examination entry fees that are charged separately. Ask how fees are staged across the year and use our fee tools to model the full annual cost rather than the headline tuition alone.
Admissions
Misr International School admits for a September start and reviews applications through the year where places remain. Entry draws on prior school reports and an assessment appropriate to the year group, with closer attention as students move into the Middle Years Programme and again into the Diploma years, where the demands of the IB step up. Younger entry points into the Primary Years Programme are generally more flexible than the senior years.
Nasr City and the wider east of the capital are busy areas for schooling, so demand for IB places here is steady and popular year groups can fill ahead of the new academic year. Families planning a move should apply early, confirm availability in their child's exact year, and ask how the school supports students stepping into the IB if they are coming from a different system.
Location and who goes there
The school is in Nasr City, one of the large planned districts in the east of Cairo, within reach of Heliopolis and the eastern growth corridor where much of the capital's middle class and internationally minded population has settled. It is a more central and urban setting than the newer compounds of New Cairo further out, which suits families based in the established eastern neighbourhoods.
The community blends internationally minded Egyptian families with expatriates working across the eastern side of the city, drawn by the full IB continuum and the single framework it offers from the early years onward. For the wider picture of where families settle across the capital and how the IB schools compare with the British, American and bilingual options, see the Cairo city hub and our guide to IB schools in Cairo.
