MFL Teacher

MBIS ‘Where teachers love to teach, and children love to learn.’

Our school

MBIS stands as one of the leading international schools in Cairo, proudly offering premier British international education for nearly three decades. Our diverse community comprises over 61 nationalities, all communicating in English. The school is situated in the picturesque area of Maadi, known for its blend of modern and Arabic architectural styles, and features a range of state-of-the-art facilities. These include a fully equipped theatre, an indoor swimming pool, an athletics track, specialized classrooms, laboratories, a library, and music rooms. As a not-for-profit institution, MBIS fosters a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere, ensuring that each student receives a world-class British education. Our mission is to support every student in reaching their full potential within our nurturing school environment. We cater to learners from age 3 through to A' Level, benefiting from a supportive community and class sizes that are significantly smaller than typical UK standards. Our academic outcomes consistently exceed UK averages across all levels.

In 2025, we were awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating across all categories during our BSO inspection, and we take pride in being full members of several international and British educational organizations, including BSME, COBIS, and AOBSO. The British Embassy supports our school, and we are a member of the British Schools in the Middle East (BSME). MBIS is dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, young people, and adults. All applicants must be prepared to undergo thorough child protection screening, which includes checks with previous employers and Disclosure and Barring Service checks, as well as their international equivalents. Additionally, this is likely our only staff vacancy for the year, reflecting the stability of our international school!

Our city

Cairo is a globally recognized city, offering a wealth of opportunities for all.

Cairo enjoys a favorable climate, featuring mild winters and hot, dry summers. A short journey will lead you to some of the finest diving spots and beach resorts globally, in addition to cultural treasures found in UNESCO World Heritage sites like Luxor. The city’s strategic location makes it easy to explore the Middle East, Africa, or even further afield with minimal effort.
