Cairo American College

Both my sons graduated from CAC in 1997 and 2000. It was an easy transition into university for them with the advanced education they received at CAC.
My 12 year experience in Cairo and CAC was truly incredible. My youngest went from 1st through 12th grade.
Definitely a 10 star school.

It was a real privilege to go to CAC and be part of the Maadi community in the seventies. I lived in both Maadi & New Maadi when there was barely anything there. I don't think any of us realized what a tight and long-lasting connection we were making within the CAC community. Many of us are still frequently in touch with friends & teachers from then. When I tell people that we traveled to Europe with French Club, cross country/track, or VB team, they don't believe it.
I loved that I could walk to my friends' houses, that there were events on the school campus even during the summer, and that if I forgot a book after school or on weekends, I could jump the school fence and get it! We were there before any serious school security at the gate or even dress codes, which is wild to think about when I visit now. I recall walking around in bare feet, even! No shoes, no problem! Ma'alesh! See evidence below. I spent 11 years of my life in Egypt, 7 of them at CAC. It was an unforgettable and wonderful period of my life.

One of the best experiences of my life. The culture, students and faculty helped me to assimilate into the culture. It also helped my future education endeavors and I now have two advanced degrees. It will always be "home" to me and I look forward to returning. Thanks for the memories!

I graduated in 1985. I owe much of the best of me to CAC. Thank you 💙

Attended CAC from 2004 - 2013... Best school that has shaped me into who I am today. I can vividly remember the days I hung out with friends I made on the first day I attended! It would be awesome going back and seeing the place like I've seen it. I will never forget this school for all it has provided me.

I've visited this amazing place twice, and honstely everything is well organized and clean,

Went to third grade here in 1972. Learned judo and Arabic, not enough to spar or hold a conversation but for somebody from a small town in the prairies of Alberta it was a change of pace.

I also learned to read. I was having a problem with reading as my school in Canada was trying a new age experiment. When you read in class you were to substitute words for their synonyms. This had put me behind. The cure was read every night with my mother. Seemed to work fine. This object lesson has stuck with me all this time.

Its not rocket science.

Thanks for showing me how to learn.

Attended CAC from 1979-81. Have kept up with the school on Facebook and by watching their website. The school has changed much over the years.

It was a diverse school with people from many different cultures attending. I believe this is still the case. The challenge for the school at the time was dealing with the vast array of academic backgrounds coming in to the facility. The staff handled the challenge well and was able to give individual attention to those that needed it.

This. Is. Home. August 2012 - June 2015 will go down in my heart as the happiest I've been in my life, because I was there. Proud to have been there and graduated at the pyramids. I'm 100% serious in saying that you will meet the greatest people there.

This school was special, i was there from kindergarten till highschool graduation. I wouldn't have picked anywhere else to go. Class of 2008

Lived in Maadi 1993. loved it. People were very friendly. Just simply beautiful then not to sure now. If I could Id move back and stay. Rent is approximately the same then as it is now. There is so much to do.

Founded in 1945, CAC has a long-standing history of offering an exceptional American education experience in Egypt. Currently we have 800 students enrolled from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, representing more than 50 countries. Our diverse faculty bring with them many years of teaching experience, a global outlook, a genuine love for kids, and a desire to see students succeed.

CAC emphasizes holistic learning and supports students as they discover their skills and passions. Students participate in a diverse array of courses and co-curricular activities including athletics, student clubs, and visual and performing arts. We explore our host country by incorporating Egypt’s history and culture into our curriculum and sending students on experiential learning trips around Cairo and Egypt. CAC is a member of several associations of international schools. Through these affiliations, our students attend educational trips and athletic competitions on four continents.

At the high school level, we work one-on-one with students to research, apply to, and matriculate to top institutions of higher education around the world. Our learning community is tight-knit, and older students serve as role models and mentors for younger students. Alumni also return to campus to speak in classes and lead student activities. Graduates join a global community of more than 15,000 CAC alumni and former students who are at the forefront of business, research, the arts, social innovation, and political service. The friendships that students form at CAC last a lifetime. Though our alumni are spread across 90 countries, they are constantly connecting and collaborating with one another.

Vibrant school with strong multicultural mix. Great in academics and welcoming to new students from many countries

Professional, family orientated, integrity of leadership, and children come first. Great school to learn, grow, and form lifelong friendships.
