● Founded
in 1981, the Pakistan International School, Cairo has a proud
and successful history.
●
Originally established in Pakistan House to serve the needs of the
children of Embassy staff, the school grew rapidly and attracted
students from many expatriate communities as it developed a strong
academic reputation.
● To cope
with the extra demand the school relocated to Dokki in 1983
and in 1998 moved to its current location in Zamalek, where it had
room to expand.
● The
exciting news now is that plans are afoot to move to a much larger
area in the suburb of Cairo City, where, in a purpose-built school,
we
can continue to expand and meet the needs of the expatriate
community.
●
Through the years the school has continued to serve the Pakistani
community with its national
exams, the international expatriate community with its affiliation to Cambridge International
examinations (since 1992) for IGCSE
and A levels and most recently with the Cambridge
International Primary Programme for classes Prep-5 in English, Mathematics and
Science. We also offer a number of
London University (Edexcel) IGCSE courses.
●
In
recent years the school has had consistent examination success in both the national Pakistan exams and the IGCSE and A-Levels and we
are proud that our students have
gained entry to universities around
the world to continue their studies.
●
