The Cairo International College of Arts and Education (also called just "Cairo College") is a wealthy school in Cairo, Egypt. It appears in the Alex Rider novel Scorpia Rising.[1]
Location
The college is halfway down a wide, tree-lined avenue. It is a modern complex, and Alex Rider thought it even looked a bit like his own school, Brookland Comprehensive. It was a five-minute walk from his apartment during his mission. The walls are painted yellow, with a scattering of sand around the building and exotic plants sprouting around it. Designed for the hallways to be light and airy, different passageways opened into courtyards with benches and tables grouped together under wooden canopies for an enjoyable lunchtime.[1]
Junior and Senior Schools
A junior school is contained in a single block of the college next to an "Olympic-sized" swimming pool. It houses around one hundred pupils aged eight to thirteen. The larger building is the senior school for the three hundred or so children older than the juniors.[1]
