The school opened to students in 1990. Nearly 1500 students from 41 countries attend school at the main campus. The school's environment is American. The student body is approximately made up of 80% Egyptian students, 10% American students, and the remaining 10% from other nationalities.[3]
Accreditation
AIS Egypt is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA).[4] AIS's American Diploma is not recognized by the Egyptian Ministry of Education, and so students from grade 1 and above start taking ministry subjects (one class Religious Studies/week, one class Egyptian Social Studies/week, and three classes of Arabic/week). When Arab students graduate, in addition to the American Diploma and the IB Diploma, they take the Egyptian General Certificate of Secondary Education. AISE is an IB World School,[5][6] and is also accredited by the European Council of International Schools, the Council of International Schools,[7] the Near East South Asia Council of Overseas Schools, the Mediterranean Association of International Schools, and the Associations for the Advancement of International Education.[8]
