The British School Al Rehab is one of the more established British curriculum schools in the eastern expansion of the capital, listed on our Cairo city hub among the schools that serve the New Cairo and Al Rehab communities. It has delivered a British education in Al Rehab City for the better part of two decades, growing up alongside the residential development it sits inside, and it offers a straightforward English National Curriculum route from early years through to A Level.
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
BSAR follows the English National Curriculum from the Early Years Foundation Stage upward. A notable feature of its structure is that Key Stage 3 is condensed into Years 7 and 8, which lets students begin their Cambridge IGCSE courses a little earlier and sit a standard set of IGCSE subjects before moving into a two year GCE A Level programme across the sixth form. That A Level route keeps the school firmly in the British camp rather than the IB, which is the alternative senior pathway at some other Cairo schools.
For families weighing the British system against the alternatives in the city, our British curriculum guide explains how IGCSE and A Level work and how universities read the qualifications. The condensed Key Stage 3 is worth asking about directly, since it changes the pace of the lower secondary years and the point at which subject choices narrow.

The British School Al Rehab fees
The British School Al Rehab sits in the mid to upper mid part of the Cairo market. Our Cairo international school fees guide places established British curriculum schools in these bands, with tuition rising stage by stage from early years to the A Level sixth form. Like most international schools in the city BSAR may quote in or peg fees 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 New Cairo, lunches, uniform, trips and activities, and in the senior years the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level 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
BSAR admits for a September start and reviews applications through the year subject to space. Entry draws on prior school reports and an age appropriate assessment, with particular attention at the move into the IGCSE years and again into the sixth form. Because the school serves the large Al Rehab community as well as wider New Cairo, popular year groups can fill, so confirming the position in your child's exact year matters.
Families relocating into the eastern compounds often shortlist BSAR alongside the other British and IB options in the area. Apply early, confirm availability in your child's year, and gather the reports and references the school will request as part of the assessment.
Location and who goes there
The campus is on Talaat Mostafa Road inside Al Rehab City, the large planned residential development on the eastern edge of New Cairo. Al Rehab is one of the self contained gated communities that have drawn international families out to the desert expansion of the capital, with its own services, retail and a dense population of the kind of households that look for British schooling close to home.
The community is a mix of internationally minded Egyptian families and expatriates living in Al Rehab and the surrounding compounds, many choosing the school for its proximity as much as its programme.
