Language school Cairo, International House – ILI

  • School

School

Our partner school is located in El Sahafeyeen, a quiet central residential neighbourhood in the west of Cairo. As well as language classrooms, you will find a computer school, an international book store, a restaurant, a student social room and a pedagogic library. The school was established in 1977, and is affiliated to International House, an organisation of worldwide quality language schools. It distinguishes itself from other Arab-world language education programmes by combining a contemporary methodological approach (everyday and media Arabic) with classical language teaching (literary and Coranic Arabic).This combination allows you to study the functional elements of the language as well as learning about its origins.
