HIGH SCHOOL

Preparing Students to Step into Their Future

Or High School offers a transformative experience where students live out our mission to "learn, explore, and have fun" as they prepare to spread their wings and soar into university and beyond. 

Rigorous American and IB Diploma programs foster academic excellence, while opportunities to represent CAC through Week Without Walls and international competitions take learning beyond borders. Years filled with friendships and unforgettable experiences make high school at CAC a time for growth and fun, all while preparing for the next chapter of life.

And when our Eagles are ready to fly, we celebrate in a graduation ceremony unlike any other in the world - at the base of Egypt’s famous pyramids.
