Begin your teaching career at prestigious Uppingham Cairo, with our ground breaking Early Career Teacher Development programme.
In your first year at Uppingham Cairo you will be appointed as a co-teacher in the Junior School, working alongside an experienced Form Teacher who will guide and mentor you as you develop your teaching skills and experience.
