Message from the Chairman of Wycombe Abbey International

Wycombe Abbey’s international strategy is to develop a global family of Word Class schools, which enables us to bring the Wycombe Abbey education to a global audience. Based on the success we have had internationally in China, we are excited to establish a partnership with WMC Education Foundation and the Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) to bring Wycombe Abbey education to Egypt, especially in a prime location in the Diplomatic District of the New Capital City.

Ensuring that our International Schools deliver a high quality holistic education experience with superb academic outcomes and pastoral care is paramount and we will ensure this continues at Wycombe Abbey School Cairo East through close monitoring by the Wycombe Abbey International Board.

We look forward to building on the establishment of our successful schools in China, and to bringing the values and educational philosophy of Wycombe Abbey (UK) to our first school in Egypt.
