BISC was previously in Zamalek.[3] It moved from its Zamalek location in September 2008 to its new purpose-built campus in the residential compound of Beverly Hills.[citation needed] BISC has an extensive campus with 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 authorized 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 IB graduate certainly says something."[4]
The school is regularly inspected by BSO and is one of only a handful of schools certified by COBIS within Egypt.
