The British International School, Cairo
A private British school located in Beverly Hills is called the British International School, Cairo (BISC). The Ministry of Education has granted permission for it to operate as an independent, fee-paying, nonprofit institution. The school is one of the few in Egypt to have COBIS certification and is subject to routine inspections by BSO.

It offers a structured, demanding academic program in a disciplined, encouraging atmosphere that helps students grow into honorable, responsible adults who can confidently fill their place in a world that is changing quickly.
As the only school in Egypt to receive an excellent rating across the board from a British Schools Overseas program inspection, British International School Cairo is one of the select few schools in the world. The vast BISC campus features amenities for every student, including age-appropriate learning areas, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and a theater.
