New Era Education announced today a strategic partnership with New Giza Development and Bloom UAE, to bring one of the leading schools in the United Kingdom to Cairo. Uppingham School, one of the UK’s most successful and historic schools, will establish Uppingham Cairo, a K12 co-educational school, opening in September 2024.
The collaboration with Uppingham will allow local students to benefit from a truly international education, offering both IB Diploma and A levels, based on the values and ethos of Uppingham, whilst also absorbing Egypt’s wealth of history and culture.

New Era Education was established in 2018 with the aim of providing world-class educational services and school management, through bringing the highest quality educational institutions to Cairo.
Founded in 1584, Uppingham is rich in history, and has always been forward thinking in its outlook. Edward Thring, the School’s renowned Victorian Headmaster believed students should be given the opportunity to succeed in any area of life, pioneering the introduction of music, sport, and wellbeing in British school life. Today, under the leadership of Dr Richard Maloney, Thring’s holistic philosophy remains at the heart of Uppingham’s ethos as the School prepares its students to succeed in the 21st Century and encourages them to be positive and creative forces for the good of their communities.
