A Rich Tapestry of Educational History
Dar El Tarbiah School, founded in 1958 by Dr. Nawal El Degwi, holds a significant place in Egyptian educational history. It proudly stands as the first English-language instruction medium institution established by Egyptians. Over the decades, it has evolved significantly, adapting to changing educational landscapes and expanding its offerings. Initially licensed by the Egyptian Government in 1958, the school further broadened its scope by becoming licensed as a "British" system school in 1990 and an "American" system school in 1991. This progressive adoption of diverse curricula highlights its commitment to providing varied and high-quality educational pathways to its students.
The institution currently comprises seven schools located across Cairo, including prime areas such as Zamalek, Agouza, and October City. These campuses collectively cater to students from Kindergarten through Grade 12, with the Kindergarten and Grades 1 to 6 known as 'Baby Home School'. This extensive network underscores Dar El Tarbiah's enduring presence and influence within the Egyptian education community, serving generations of students with its comprehensive programs.
