Schools & Universities in the New Capital: A Guide for Families

For most families, the decision to move somewhere comes down to one question before any other: where will the children study? Egypt's New Administrative Capital was planned with that question in mind, concentrating universities and international schools into a city designed for the next generation.

A genuine university hub

The centrepiece is the Knowledge Hub Universities in Residential District R7 — a campus that hosts branches of world-class institutions, including Coventry University and NOVA University Lisbon, with international branch campuses spanning engineering, computing, design, business and more. It is part of a wider cluster: the New Capital is now home to more than ten international universities — among them the German, Canadian, and Hungarian universities — alongside an extended campus of the American University spanning around 50 acres for tens of thousands of students.

Schools for every curriculum

Below the university tier, the city offers international schools following British, American, French, German and other systems — so families can choose continuity with the curriculum their children already know, without leaving the New Capital for it.

Why proximity matters more than people expect

School runs quietly shape family life. Living within a short, calm drive of campus means more time at home and less on the road — especially valuable in a child's early years. That makes where you settle inside the New Capital as important as the city choice itself.

Where Granville fits

Granville sits centrally in the New Capital, keeping the Knowledge Hub and international schools within easy reach, while offering exactly the environment families want to come home to: a gated, low-density estate of spacious villas set among gardens, lakes, and quiet avenues — safe for children, finished and ready to live in from day one.

A family address near it all

Granville is a 125-acre, 459-villa community in the heart of Egypt's New Administrative Capital by Founders (Hyde Park Developments) — low-density, gated, and green, with fully finished homes ready to move in. Its central position keeps the city's schools and the Knowledge Hub campuses within an easy drive.
