The first foreign schools date to the early 19th century, when French missionaries began establishing French charitable schools to educate the Egyptians. Today, the most important French schools in Alexandria run by <a href="/wiki/Catholic" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic">Catholic</a> missionaries include Collège de la Mère de Dieu, Collège Notre Dame de Sion, <a href="/wiki/Coll%C3%A8ge_Saint_Marc,_Alexandria" title="Collège Saint Marc, Alexandria">Collège Saint Marc</a>, Écoles des Soeurs Franciscaines (four different schools), École Girard, École Saint Gabriel, École Saint-Vincent de Paul, École Saint Joseph, École Sainte Catherine, and Institution Sainte Jeanne-Antide. As a reaction to the establishment of French religious institutions, a secular (laic) mission established Lycée el-Horreya, which initially followed a French system of education, but is currently run by the Egyptian government. The only school in Alexandria that completely follows the French educational system is Lycée Français d'Alexandrie (École Champollion). It is usually frequented by the children of French expatriates and diplomats in Alexandria. The Italian school is the Istituto "Don Bosco". </p><p>English-language schools in Alexandria are the most popular; those in the city include: Riada American School, Riada Language School, Forsan American School, Forsan International School, Alexandria Language School, Future Language School, Future International Schools (Future IGCSE, Future American School and Future German school), Alexandria American School, <a href="/wiki/British_School_of_Alexandria" class="mw-redirect" title="British School of Alexandria">British School of Alexandria</a>, Egyptian American School, Pioneers Language School, <a href="/wiki/Egyptian_English_Language_School" title="Egyptian English Language School">Egyptian English Language School</a>, Princesses Girls' School, Sidi Gaber Language School, Zahran Language School, Taymour English School, Sacred Heart Girls' School, <a href="/wiki/Schutz_American_School,_Alexandria" title="Schutz American School, Alexandria">Schutz American School</a>, <a href="/wiki/Victoria_College,_Alexandria" title="Victoria College, Alexandria">Victoria College</a>, <a href="/wiki/Manar_English_Girls_School" title="Manar English Girls School">El Manar Language School for Girls</a> (previously called Scottish School for Girls), Kawmeya Language School, El Nasr Boys' School (previously called British Boys' School), and <a href="/wiki/El_Nasr_Girls%27_College" title="El Nasr Girls' College">El Nasr Girls' College</a> (previously called English Girls' College).

In Egypt, there was a native Egyptian population with its own culture, history, and traditions. The Greeks who came to Egypt, to the court or to live in Alexandria, were separated from their original cultures. Alexandria was the main Greek city of Egypt and within it, there was an extraordinary mix of Greeks from many cities and backgrounds.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Culture+and+Power+in+Ptolemaic+Egypt%3A+The+Museum+and+Library+of+Alexandria&rft.atitle=Greece+%26+Rome%2C+2nd+Ser.&rft.volume=42&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=38-48+42&rft.date=1995-04&rft.aulast=Erskine&rft.aufirst=Andrew&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAlexandria" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Culture_and_Power_in_[[Ptolemaic_Egypt]]_p._42-43-20"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Culture_and_Power_in_[[Ptolemaic_Egypt]]_p._42-43_20-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFErskine1995" class="citation journal cs1">Erskine, Andrew (April 1995). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.research.ed.ac.uk/en/publications/0250d217-8139-4aca-8a8e-8a701b81b9a2">"Culture and Power in Ptolemaic Egypt: the Museum and Library of Alexandria"</a>. <i>Greece & Rome</i>. <b>42</b> (1): 38–48. <a href="/wiki/Doi_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doi (identifier)">doi</a>:<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.1017%2FS0017383500025213">10.1017/S0017383500025213</a>. <a href="/wiki/Hdl_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hdl (identifier)">hdl</a>:<span class="id-lock-free" title="Freely accessible"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11820%2F0250d217-8139-4aca-8a8e-8a701b81b9a2">20.500.11820/0250d217-8139-4aca-8a8e-8a701b81b9a2</a></span>. <a href="/wiki/S2CID_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="S2CID (identifier)">S2CID</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:162578339">162578339</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220510035202/https://www.research.ed.ac.uk/en/publications/culture-and-power-in-ptolemaic-egypt-the-museum-and-library-of-al">Archived</a> from the original on 10 May 2022<span class="reference-accessdate">.

[...] But the emphasis on Greek culture does even more than this – these are Greeks ruling in a foreign land. The more Greeks can indulge in their own culture, the more they can exclude non-Greeks, in other words Egyptians, the subjects whose land has been taken over. The assertion of Greek culture serves to enforce Egyptian subjection. So the presence in Alexandria of two institutions devoted to the preservation and study of Greek culture acts as a powerful symbol of Egyptian exclusion and subjection. Texts from other cultures could be kept in the library, but only once they had been translated, that is to say Hellenized.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>[...] A reading of Alexandrian poetry might easily give the impression that Egyptians did not exist at all; indeed Egypt itself is hardly mentioned except for the Nile and the Nile flood, [...] This omission of the Egypt and Egyptians from poetry masks a fundamental insecurity. It is no coincidence that one of the few poetic references to Egyptians presents them as muggers.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Greece+%26+Rome&rft.atitle=Culture+and+Power+in+Ptolemaic+Egypt%3A+the+Museum+and+Library+of+Alexandria&rft.volume=42&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=38-48&rft.date=1995-04&rft_id=info%3Ahdl%2F20.500.11820%2F0250d217-8139-4aca-8a8e-8a701b81b9a2&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A162578339%23id-name%3DS2CID&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1017%2FS0017383500025213&rft.aulast=Erskine&rft.aufirst=Andrew&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.research.ed.ac.uk%2Fen%2Fpublications%2F0250d217-8139-4aca-8a8e-8a701b81b9a2&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAlexandria" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-21"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-21">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Hanson and Ortman, A systematic method for estimating the populations of Greek and Roman settlements November 2017, Journal of Roman Archaeology 30(1):301-324</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-22"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-22">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFDelia1988" class="citation journal cs1">Delia, Diana (1988).
