School description
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.
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.
