The largest Jewish community school. It was also called בית הספר של העדה העברית בקהיר.
Was once separate boys and girls school with garden separating. Then the southern half became a government school for Arab studens. Those students used to chant insults at the Jewish pupils across the garden.
Today Madrsat al-Ahram a-thanawiya.
Sarah Mangoubi was last-ever principal of the school. Closed in 1966.
The Israelite school which opened in 1920 near Fagala on Sakakini Street, was named after its benefactor, Moise de Cattaui Pasha. A decade earlier, on May 20, 1909, it was Moise Cattaui who inaugurated an Israelite school situated on Hassan al-Akbar street, opposite the Khedivial Law School. In 1927 the large Israelite school of Abbasia was inaugurated a few meters from the hospital thanks to generous donations from Joseph Aslan Cattaui Pasha and other members of the Jewish community.
