Thank you for returning to the Australian School of Cairo homepage for an update and welcome if you are a first time visitor.

Our school began as a modest notion in Australia in 2007. The notion was to start small with perhaps 200 preschool and lower primary students in a villa or other suitable rental, opening somewhere in Greater Cairo in September of 2009.

Upon returning to Cairo in April of 2008, months of searching and learning more of Egyptian school licensing requirements resulted in 1) no suitable premises being identified in Cairo's heady real estate market, and 2) learning that villas and other buildings that might seem suitable can fail Egyptian licensing requirements in many instances.

We have abandoned hope for the small, quality startup we envisaged, do not wish to pursue other models and will maintain this page through 2010 for the benefit of people who have heard of us and are curious about what came of our plans.
