Egypt’s Boarding School Market
Boarding and private schools in Egypt are primarily attended by children from affluent households, with 42% of children from the highest wealth quintile enrolled in private education. While tuition at local private schools can be as low as 1,200 Egyptian pounds, the cost of attending the most expensive international schools in Cairo can reach up to USD$20,000 in the student’s final year. This significant price gap highlights the growing demand for premium international and boarding school education among Egypt’s wealthy families. As the country’s middle and upper-class populations expand, the market for high-quality boarding schools is expected to grow, presenting an excellent opportunity for international institutions to tap into this affluent segment.
