A leading international school in Cairo, Egypt.

Offering International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme as well as American High School Diploma in Cairo, Egypt. The co-educational Pre-K3 – Gr.12 day school places as much value on co-curricular activities as it does on strong academics as per the ‘whole-child’ teaching philosophy. CAC is the only US State Department affiliated school in Cairo.

Presently, we nurture a community of nearly 1000 students from over 55 nationalities, fostering a vibrant and diverse environment at CAC. For over 75 years, our school has been a hub for expatriate and local families, where parents, students, and faculty unite as part of the larger CAC family.

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

The start of a school year brings with it a sense of excitement and a fresh opportunity to build upon our past achievements. This year, we are thrilled to celebrate CAC’s 80th birthday! As the Head of School at Cairo American College, I am delighted to begin my 11th year with this wonderful community.

On a personal note, the past year has been significant for my family. My oldest child graduated and is now attending Dartmouth College in the United States, while my other two children are entering grades 11 and 10. My wife, Carey Harris, continues her impactful work as the ES counselor and a positive discipline parent educator. We feel incredibly blessed to be part of such a remarkable school community.

CAC is the place to be. We are ready for a year full of learning, exploring, and having fun. Our enrollment continues at a ten-year high, with 1,000 smiling students representing 54 different nations!

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to Cairo American College. Let us embrace the opportunities this new school year presents and make it a memorable one.

See you all on August 19.

Warm regards,

Dr. Jared Harris
Head of School
