Schutz American School

Schutz American School holds the remarkable distinction of being the oldest American school in Africa, founded in 1924 under the auspices of the United Presbyterian Church mission. Located in the prestigious San Stefano area of Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast, the school has provided a continuous century of American international education to Egypt's second city. Schutz serves students from Pre-Kindergarten (Early Childhood Programme) through Grade 12 with all instruction in English, following a comprehensive American curriculum aligned with US educational standards. The school maintains the South Asian school year schedule, running from late August through mid-June. Annual tuition ranges from USD $5,500 to $12,900 — notably among the most affordable American international school fees in Egypt, providing exceptional value for families. Schutz holds triple accreditation from NESA (Near East South Asia Council of Overseas Schools), CIS (Council of International Schools), and ECIS (European Council of International Schools), representing the highest level of international school endorsement. The school serves the children of American consular staff, multinational business executives, NGO workers, and international families based in Egypt's historic Mediterranean city.
