BISC is a well established 3-18, IB World School offering the IB Diploma, GCSE and a National Curriculum related programme. BISC was established in 1976 to provide an education based on British principles and curricula for the children of the expatriate British and Anglo-Egyptian communities; children from the Commonwealth and other countries with educational systems based upon British standards; and children of the English-speaking Egyptian community and other nationalities tied to British-type schooling. The majority of teaching staff are recruited from the UK and the school belongs to BSME and COBIS.

BISC was previously in Zamalek.[2] It moved from its Zamalek location in September 2008 to its new purpose built campus in the residential compound of Beverly Hills. BISC has an extensive campus with excellent facilities including a theatre, Olympic swimming pool and age appropriate learning spaces for all students.

BISC is an independent, fee-financed, not for profit school authorised by the Ministry of Education.The Good Schools Guide International states that the school "offers a world class education – the best in Egypt – and prestige. To be a BISC graduate certainly says something."[3] The school is regularly inspected by BSO and is one of only a handful of schools certified by COBIS within Egypt.

Admissions

Entry to BISC is selective. Prior to admission, students undergo assessments tests and interviews with the Heads of Schools.
