The History of Who We Are
Manor House School has been a leader in education since the 1940's. Manor House School currently provides the National and International certificates (British and American). The school is recognized for its excellence in education while instilling the cultural values of Egypt.
In 1947 Manor House School opened its first school building in Zamalek, Cairo under the ownership of Mr. and Mrs. Bullen. In 1956 the school opened a new branch in Mohandeseen - Cairo that incorporated kindergarten through Grade 12. After this, during President Gamal Abd El Nasir's time in power, the school was nationalized and the name was changed to Port Said School.
In 1960 the owners of the original Manor House School left Egypt and moved to Greece, opening a school there, and later in Lebanon as well.
In 1976, upon the request of the Egyptian government, the owners of Manor House School returned to Egypt and re-opened in Heliopolis, Cairo. One year later in 1977, the Mohandeseen branch was opened.
In 1992 Manor House School decided to expand its horizons and branch into the International arena. In September 1992 Manor House began teaching the British system of education (I.G.C.S.E.). This opened as a separate entity from the National system with its own building in the Mohandeseen area.
At the same time, the Mohandeseen National School branch was growing in numbers, so Manor House School decided to open another section of the school in the 6th of October area in Egypt in October 2000. This school is situated on a very large ground area and fully equipped with all facilities, and includes KG– Grade 9.
With the turn of the Millennium, Manor House School embarked on initiating an American Program for High School Certificate. This began in September 2001 with a small group of students, a select group of qualified staff and a very strong will.
In September 2003 the American Division moved to its own building becoming a separate entity on its own. We remain conveniently located in the center of the Mohandeseen area with a much larger, more diverse student body of over 200 students. In view of our quest to better serve our students and parents, today Manor House American School caters to Pre K- Grade 12, with the American Elementary School being located in a separate building down the street from the High School building.
In 2007 the school started the Pre-IGCSE program to be one of twelve pioneer schools in Egypt who received permission to carry the program. With another convenient building situated in the heart of Mohandeseen area, the program was successfully launched and proved to be very helpful to students aiming for IGCSE.
In 2009 the school started the Cambridge International Primary Program which covers years 1 to 6 also situated in Mohandeseen. The program implements the latest new pedagogy and uses the most updated teaching technologies.
