Our School
Located in the Diplomatic District of the New Administrative Capital, Wycombe Abbey Cairo East (WACE) is privileged and excited to be part of Egypt’s new smart capital city and to be able to serve the international and national communities around Cairo and the New Administrative Capital with a world class education.
The campus, built by ACUD, is over 58,000 sqm and has world-class facilities catering to every child’s needs, including specialised and multipurpose classrooms, modern laboratories, swimming pool, gym, football and multi-purpose sports pitches, and art and music studios.
The school opened in September 2025, teaching from Early Years (age 3) to Year 5 (age 9) and will expand and become a full EYFS-12 all-through school in the near future. The school aims to provide a full education for all children, progressing through each stage and preparing them for the next phase of their lives at the world’s leading universities and beyond.
An international curriculum is taught based on the Cambridge International curriculum and underpinned by Wycombe Abbey’s academic qualities. As part of Wycombe Abbey’s international global family of schools, WACE will bring its philosophies and principles of holistic education to Egypt so that academic excellence, empathy, and integrity thrive in the school and its community.

We foster a love of learning, encourage curiosity, and cultivate critical thinking skills. Our holistic approach ensures that each child is recognised as an individual, supported in their unique journey of self-discovery, and empowered to reach their full potential.
With a focus on academic excellence, creativity, and holistic growth, our school is dedicated to preparing pupils to excel at the world’s top universities and to thrive as future leaders in a global society.'
