Cairo

Located in Cairo Festival City, Dwight School Cairo is purposefully designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and confidence from the earliest years onward.

The campus will feature modern learning environments including makerspaces, science and innovation labs, performing arts facilities, libraries, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, collaborative learning spaces, and age-appropriate environments tailored to each stage of a child’s development. In its first year of operation the school will welcome learners in Pre-K to grade 5, and will grow to include students up to grade 12. 

As part of the Dwight Schools global network spanning New York, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Dubai, Hanoi, Online, and beyond, students will benefit from opportunities to connect and collaborate with peers around the world through shared projects, cultural exchanges, global programs, and network-wide initiatives. This international exposure helps students develop a broader perspective, strong communication skills, and the adaptability needed to thrive in an interconnected world.

Being part of the Dwight global network means that our students are joining something much larger than a school —they are becoming part of a community that spans cultures, continents, and perspectives. At Dwight Cairo, this global connection will enrich every aspect of the student experience, creating opportunities to learn alongside peers around the world, develop meaningful cross-cultural relationships, and see the world through different lenses. Our faculty and staff, too, will be part of an international community of educators who share ideas, collaborate, and learn from one another. This is what makes a Dwight education so distinctive: a truly global community that inspires students to think bigger, connect more deeply, and imagine what is possible.- Alison Cobbin, Interim Head of School, Dwight School Cairo
