Hayah International Academy is coming to West Cairo as it looks to open its Sheikh Zayed campus Hayah West in September 2022 and will start student admissions for the 2022-23 academic year next month, according to a statement (pdf) out yesterday.
Hayah is part of the Egypt Education Fund, an education investment platform backed by GEMS, EFG Hermes, and the Sovereign Fund of Egypt. Established in 2003, Hayah is an IB school and joined the fund in June this year. EEP has several educational brands under its umbrella with two more to be launched soon. This includes GEMS International Schools, Prime National Schools and Hayah Schools. Over the summer EEP added Alexandria’s AIA International School to its portfolio and signed an MoU with Abu Soma Development (ASD) to develop and operate a school in Soma Bay under the GEMS International Schools brand.
