The greatest narratives in education are forged not in boardrooms, but in response to profound opportunity. In 2024, CIRA Education, the established education flagship of Egypt, looked beyond its shores and saw a strategic imperative in the world’s most competitive market. This story belongs to CIRA Global Ventures (CGV), CIRA’s dedicated expansion engine, which has delivered a historic first: the institutional presence of an Egyptian education group in the US.

This landmark entrance was secured through the acquisition of a significant minority stake in Falcon Academy, Inc., near the strategic corridor of Washington, DC and Northern Virginia. Falcon Academy is not simply a school; it is a rapid success story, already ranking as one of North America’s fastest-growing institutions.

This foundational investment is the powerful catalyst driving our vision forward. It’s not just about stability; it’s designed for accelerated transformation: skyrocketing our capacity to introduce high school grade levels and pioneering a cutting-edge campus focused on integrated STEM education.

Crucially, Falcon Academy’s success lies in its unique positioning. It is a dynamic hybrid model designed for the modern global citizen. It expertly blends advanced, IB-trained academic programs with the rich grounding of Middle Eastern values and ethics. This specific, high-quality offering fills a massive void, directly serving the extensive and diverse Arab and Asian diaspora across the US.

For CIRA, this is only the prelude. The vision is for Falcon Academy to serve as the blueprint, a scalable model of excellence ready for replication across different US locations. This strategic, step-by-step movement is the living proof of CIRA’s commitment to global expansion, reinforcing its leadership position in Egypt while firmly planting its flag on new shores to build a truly international education network.
