Join our Exclusive British School In the beautiful city of Madinaty, Cairo

British International School Madinaty is the newest school in GEMS Education Egypt group of schools. We are proud to be a premier school in the Egyptian portfolio of the largest K-12 education organisation in the world and the largest employer of British, North American and Indian teachers outside their home countries, bringing in quality candidates to the group schools.

BISM opened in 2013 as the first British International School in the fully integrated city of Madinaty with a capacity to accommodate 2000 students from Pre School to Y12. The school quickly became a centre of international education in the city, offering quality education in our well developed premium facilities to over 1000 students following the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum leading to the English National Curriculum through to IGCSE and GCE A level.

BISM is a dynamic school, with a strong belief and dedication towards innovation, creativity and technology; we have recently announced our strategy to be a career- skills focused school by introducing a strong enrichment STEM-based programme that sets us apart from other British Education offerings, and adds a great value to both our students and teachers to be part of this cutting-edge international approach in the educational sector. 

This new strategy goes hand in hand with our commitment as a school to deliver highly dynamic, progressive and a personalised learning that enables students to be leaders, designers, creators and contributors in our world.

We are located in the city of Madinaty, which is a peacefully green, gated family oriented community. The compound is a fully integrated community hosting a variety of services and facilities varying from shopping malls, healthcare centres, banks and a large 210 acre sports and social club, all of which guarantee a work-life balance for residents and people working in the city. This together, with the great package, supports a very high quality life-style.
