Manor House School has been a leader in education since the 1940's and is recognized, not only for excellence in education, but also for maintaining and instilling the cultural values of Egypt, while implementing international curriculum (British & American). Our history tells the story of a school that has always stood at the forefront of the educational arena in Egypt; constantly innovating and expanding to meet the needs of our ever growing global society.
     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 Dokki 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 October 2000. This school is situated on a very large ground area and is fully equipped with all facilities.
     With the turn of the Millennium, Manor House School embarked on initiating an American Program leading to the world recognized High School Certificate. This began in September 2001 with a small group of students, a few rooms, and a very strong will. In September 2003 the American Division moved to its own separate building becoming a separate entity on its own. We remain conveniently located in the center of the Mohandeseen area, with most of our students residing in the near vicinity.
      Throughout the following years,Manor House American School expanded to allow younger students to enjoy the merits of the American Diploma System. In 2006, we are proud to say that we now offer the full American educational experience, with students from kindergarten to grade 12. Currently the American Diploma division has a much larger, more diverse student body of over 250 students. At present, Manor House School, with all its divisions, has over 3,000 students.
