CAC offers various Social Studies subjects within our curriculum including: World Cultures and Societies, Modern World History, US History, Business and Management, IB History, IB Economics, and IB Global Politics. Some Social Studies faculty also teach IBDP TOK courses. The ideal candidate for this one-year position will have IB and international teaching experience.

Our outstanding academic programs consistently earn students spots in top universities around the world, and our comprehensive extra-curricular programs include championship sports teams, outstanding performing and visual arts programs, and a full slate of service learning activities that engage students in the world outside our walls. We are extremely fortunate to be located in Egypt, a country that provides incrediblly rich offerings for exploration, from palentology to archeology, geology to marine biology, there is more to explore than most people will be able to see during their time posted in Cairo. CAC's field trips and Egypt Culture curriculum aim to expose CAC stu...dents to the wonders of this incredible nation. Currently, residents of Cairo are able to witness the birth pangs of democracy--an amazing educational opportunity in itself.
