Schools in Egypt

[garylockwood]

Hi ya ladies, many thanks for the replies. We have spent months on the Sharmwomen site and made many good contacts, even somebody who lived just up the road from us in Hull. There are four schools in Sharm and we have been in touch with all of them and been to see them, have interviews and discuss curriculums with them but they all have a glitch of some sort or other. The school in El Gouna, that we stumbled across by accident recently, seems to have everything we are looking for and although it is not in our chosen first place, Sharm, we figured Sharm and Hurghada can't be pole apart in attraction so we may take a look first, even if it is to eliminate it. You all speak very fondly of Hurghada and El Gouna so it must be a very beautiful, peaceful place for you to consider moving there. Thanks for the warm welcome. We look forward to chatting to you all in future

Hi Gary and family

This is one of the reasons we are not moving out to Sharm at the moment. Our youngest will be 15 this year so we felt that it would be better not to unsettle her as she is nearing the most important educational year or two.
She is at the moment undertaking ' mock exams ' and next year will be the last for her GCSE's. Our other children are nearly 19 and nearly 24 and both flown the nest.

I appreciate that it is so important to make sure your children have the best education that you are able to provide and sometimes is very difficult to find.

I wish you and your family all the very best.

Please let us know how you get on.

Regards

Alison xx

Hi,


I´m thinking of starting a landuage school for Pre-school kids in Egypt.
Does anybody know if foreigners can own a school in Egypt? Does the school need registration and where is this done?

Thanks

Have you moved out yet or just thinking about it? There is alot of people out in hurghada that can help with sorting things out and the legal side of things, Afew english have started new businesses so should not be a problem

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
No I havent moved out yet. Im thinking about doing it this fall. The school Im thinking about is a Preschool in Alexandria, but it shouldent be other regulations in the Alex area, should it?
I really would like to know which legalisations, registrations are needed for such a school project in Egypt?
No I dont think eighter it should be a problem to start it. Schools are considered businesses in same term like a resturant, hotel and other.

Schooling in Hurghada is about £1200 per child. El gouna school is a little bit more but has the GCSE standard.

I now live in hurghada and have my two children aged 8 and 11 at cheeky monkeys summer camp. they love it.

I recently tried Happy's and my two children were not very Happy there due to nothing for them to do.

I then got them in cheeky monkeys and withing the first day they had more friends and get up in the morning wanting to go.

In september they will be going to the red eas school which is a new school opening in september run by cheeky monkeys. based at the back of cheek monkeys there will be class rooms for the children, there will be no more than 12 students in a class which is fantastic for them. They are going to be doing the GCSE english eduction.

The main teacher is from england and lived in the same area i used to live so i do know which college she trained at also know of the schools she taught at in england.

for anyone wanting to know more about the school feel free to contact me and i will give phone numbers of people to contact.

Normally new schools will start only with KG1 and KG2 and then "grow" with the children. But your children are already 8 and 11, do they have classes for them??
