ABOUT CAC
STRATEGIC PLAN 2025 to 2035
CAC’s strategic vision for 2035 is anchored in our core values of responsibility, respect, and integrity, and reflects our vision of empowering a community of excellence to thrive. The plan sets out four Domains of Excellence, each guided by three core goals that will shape the school’s work over the next decade.
Visionary, evidence-based education at CAC is grounded in our core values of responsibility, respect, and integrity. Students build capabilities such as critical thinking, collaboration, and principled leadership by meeting genuinely complex work again and again, in every classroom, by design rather than by chance. CAC is defining an evidence-based teaching and learning model, embedding these human capabilities into the curriculum, and using Egypt as a living laboratory through signature learning experiences that no other place can offer.
Goal 1: Establish and continually refine an evidence-based CAC Teaching and Learning Model.
Goal 2: Design and implement a future-ready, holistic curriculum that cultivates human capabilities within a culture of belonging.
Goal 3: Expand real-world learning pathways and strengthen partnerships to enhance student readiness and global recognition.
The learning CAC intends has physical requirements that conventional classrooms cannot meet. We are designing and renovating our campuses for the learning we aspire to rather than the learning we inherited, with spaces that make learning visible across all three divisions, modernized arts and athletic facilities, accessibility and safety that meet international standards for every learner, and environmental stewardship built into how we construct and operate.
Goal 1: Transform the CAC campuses into future-ready, sustainable, and transdisciplinary learning environments.
Goal 2: Execute the strategic expansion through the development of the New Cairo Campus.
Goal 3: Ensure world-class safety, accessibility, and risk mitigation across all facilities.
Financial excellence sustains CAC’s ability to deliver a world-class education while ensuring long-term resilience and growth. By building revenue beyond tuition through partnerships, programs, and philanthropy, by streamlining and digitizing how we operate, and by cultivating a culture of giving, CAC protects the commitments that matter most: competitive compensation for outstanding educators, sustained investment in programs, and the capacity to build for the future.
Goal 1: Diversify revenue streams beyond tuition.
Goal 2: Ensure and sustain operational efficiency.
Goal 3: Develop and cultivate a culture of giving.
Everything CAC intends for its students reaches them through an educator, which makes the strength and stability of our faculty the school’s most consequential investment. CAC is building a professional community that educators want to join and choose to remain part of, supported by competitive compensation, deliberate recruitment, professional learning aligned to the CAC Teaching and Learning Model, and leadership pathways that allow people to grow here. As that community matures, CAC will become a hub where educators from across the region come to learn.
Goal 1: Invest in educator professional growth.
Goal 2: Improve talent acquisition.
Goal 3: Establish CAC as a hub for educational leadership and continuous improvement.
