About Us

Manor House
Schools has been a leader in
education since the 1940’s. We currently
provide both National and International
certificates (British and American) and are
recognized for our excellence in education
while instilling the cultural values of
Egypt.
In 1947 Manor House
Schools 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 which incorporated kindergarten
through Grade 12 . After this, during
President Gamal Abd El Nasser’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 Schools
left Egypt and moved to Greece, opening a
school there, and later in The Lebanon as
well.
In 1976 upon the request of the Egyptian
government, the owners of
Manor House Schools
returned to Egypt and re-opened in
Heliopolis, Cairo. One year later in 1977,
the Mohandeseen branch was opened .
In 1992 Manor House
Schools decided to expand its
horizons and branch into the international
arena. In September 1992
Manor House Schools
began offering the I.G.C.S.E. based on the
British system of education. This school was
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 Schools
decided to open another section of the
school in the 6th of October area of Cairo,
(20 km west of Cairo) in October 2000. This
is the largest of the
Manor House Schools,
and is situated in a very large area which
is fully equipped with all facilities. This
school includes KG to Grade 11 and from 2005
it will also house Grade 12.
With the turn of the Millennium ,
Manor House Schools
embarked on initiating an American Program
for the High School Certificate. This began
in September, 2001 with a small group of
students in the main I.G.C.S.E. building. At
this point, the school consisted of one
Grade 10 class containing 10 students and
one grade 11 class consisting of 5 students.
The staff was limited to a select group of
qualified teachers .
The American Division remained in the main
I.G.C.S.E. building for two years sharing
all facilities with them. In September, 2003
the American Division gained its
independence and moved to its own separate
building down the street, becoming a
separate entity on its own .
Manor House today is one of the oldest and
largest Language Schools in Cairo which has
been influenced and shaped over the years by
many great names in education including Mary
Salama, Mrs. and Miss. Bullen and Mr.
Richard Tomlinson, to name a few.
