i think being that the kid is an american born he would have some privileges in american schools??? pricing wise I think they would give him a break in the price,,, but i guess it needs to be an american school not egyptian-american private, bem3na enaha paid by the american government... Why not speaking locally in the USA and asking how that goes in egypt for american born children in egypt... am sure she will find some good information there

There is a lot of language schools in Cairo, you will find one without difficulties if you decide to live there.
But i believe the best place to send children to in Cairo is the Cairo American College

Hi Sophia, Just from experience, any americam or british school charges around £5K sterling or $8-9k per year. Any other language school or normal egyptian school charges between 10,000EGP- 20,000EGp per year. They have the governmnet schools that charge, very little if at all, but these tend to be overcrowded and teach predominantly in Arabic, so if your child does not speak/read or write arabic they may struggle. Good Luck
