TYPES OF SCHOOLS IN EGYPT

Government Schools

Generally speaking, there are two types of government schools: Arabic Schools and

Experimental Language Schools.
Arabic Schools, provide the governmental national curriculum in the Arabic Language
Experimental Language Schools, teach most of the government curriculum in English, and add

French as a second foreign language.
Private Schools
Generally speaking, they are three types of private schools:
Ordinary schools, their curriculum is quite similar to that of the government schools, but the

private schools pay more attention to the students' personal needs and to the school facilities.
Language schools, teach most of the government curriculum in English, and add French or German as a second foreign language. They are expected to be better than the other schools,

because of the facilities available, but their fees are much higher. Some of these schools use

French or German as their main language of instruction, but it may be difficult for the student to

study in governmental universities in Arabic or English afterwards.
Religious Schools, are religiously oriented schools that are sponsored by the Muslim

Brotherhood movement, especially in the western delta region. Their curricula differ from those

of the state or the Azhar schools.
Many of the private schools were built by missionaries, are currently affiliated with churches and

provide quality education.Many private schools offer additional educational programs, along with

the national curriculum, such as the American High School Diploma, the British IGCSE system,

the French baccalaureat, the German Abitur and the International Baccalaureate
