What Lycee European Schools does

European Schools of Alexandria (branded as Lycee European Schools) is a privately held, founder-led K-12 educational group headquartered in Alexandria, Egypt. The institution operates six distinct divisions from kindergarten through university entrance level, each running a separate internationally recognized curriculum: Euro American School (EAS) delivers the American Common Core State Standards; Euro International School (EIS) offers British IGCSE qualifications via Cambridge, EdExcel, and OxfordAQA pathways; Lycée Européen d'Alexandrie (LEA) follows the French National curriculum; European School of Alexandria (ESA) delivers the Egyptian national curriculum in English; and the Lycée Européen Baccalaureate/International (LEB/LEI) runs the International Baccalaureate (IB) in both French and English. The group serves approximately 2,500 students and 500 staff across three Alexandria campuses (Mandara Keblya, As Soyouf, and Mandarah), with the IB campus footprint at 16,800 m² including an Olympic swimming pool and a 600-seat theatre.

Instruction is delivered in four languages — French, English, Arabic, and German — by native-speaking and internationally credentialed faculty. The IB division achieved PYP authorization in January 2025 with MYP/DP candidacy underway and the first IB Diploma Programme cohort scheduled for September 2027. Strategic academic affiliations span Cambridge International, EdExcel (Pearson), OxfordAQA, the British Council (Egypt), and the International Baccalaureate Organization. Operations are supported by the SchoolEveryWhere platform for online admissions, application status tracking, and student records.

The revenue model is a subscription-style recurring annual tuition stream, supplemented by one-time admission fees and ancillary educational services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; families apply directly through the school's online portal, supplemented by campus tours and open days. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer within a single domestic market (Alexandria, Egypt). The institution is founder-owned (Raafat Fawzy / Raafat Fawzy Mahmoud) with no institutional investors, public listing, or external funding rounds evidenced.

• Egyptian American School (EAS Cairo): Cairo-based American/IB school. Comparable in offering American and IB credentials to expat and affluent Egyptian families, though serves a different geography.
