Egypt - British Columbia Canadian International School East

Teach, travel and explore Cairo, Egypt at British Columbia International School (BCCIS). BCCIS opened over a decade ago by a family with a vision to develop a quality school so that Egyptian students could have the education that would create global citizens. The school started with 27 students in 2005 and has grown each year to the current enrolment of approximately 1300 students across two schools.

A strong admin team has been developed so that the outcomes of the British Columbia, Canada curriculum are met. Strong family values continue to be at the core of the BCCIS team.

School Community

BCCIS is a fully accredited British Columbia, Canada Offshore School. It has two schools, one located in El Sherouk City, and another in 6th of October City, both suburbs of Cairo. BCCIS is housed in modern facilities, uses the B.C. curriculum which is taught by B.C. certified teachers and ‘feels’ like a Canadian school.

To ensure that we follow the B.C. curriculum, policies and processes to the highest level, BCCIS is inspected and accredited on an annual basis by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. Our students typically attain Provincial Exam scores that fall into the ‘average’ and ‘above average’ range when compared to all B.C. schools.

Our Students

BCCIS’ students are primarily Egyptian, and they are energetic and enthusiastic learners. Their ages range from Early Childhood Education to Grade 12. Egyptian students are motivated to succeed and aspire to pursue post-secondary studies abroad. Our students are taught predominantly in English (with some French and Arabic) and, at the completion of their studies, attain the B.C. ‘Dogwood’ Graduation Certificate.

Our students are high achievers and typically attain Provincial Exam scores that fall into the ‘average’ and ‘above average’ range when compared to all BC schools.
