OUR SCHOOL · OUR STORY

A proud history. A shared future.

Since 1985, Orouba Language Schools in Maadi has brought families together around education, character and the belief that every student can achieve.

OLS pupils and staff gathered for a school community celebration — Learning together. Growing together.

ROOTED IN MAADI

Education with a sense of belonging.

Founded by Mr Hussein Mohamed El Rashidy in 1985, OLS Maadi is an Egyptian national language school with a long-standing place in its community. Its story builds on the Orouba educational tradition, which began in Dokki in 1960.

Our school brings together the national curriculum, language learning and opportunities to develop beyond the classroom. We want students to gain knowledge, ask thoughtful questions and take an active part in school life.

From the early years through secondary education, teachers and families share an important role: helping young people become confident learners who act with respect and responsibility.
