Green Land International School (Arabic: مدرسة الأرض المخضرة الدولية, French: École Internationale du Pré Vert) is a private international school and nursery located in Giza, Egypt. It is one of the two Egyptian schools authorized to teach the International Baccalaureate Primary, Middle and Diploma programmes, and is the only one in Egypt providing these programmes in both French and English. The school was founded in 1994 by a group of parents whose interest was to invest in their children's education and future. All the school's students study the International Baccalaureate. Green Land emphasises the teaching of the Arabic language to all its sections and grades.
The school's original campus is located in Geziret Mohamed road in Giza. It is located in an Egyptian farmland; hence the name "Green Land." The nursery is located in the Mohandessin area. New campuses were built in Sheikh Zayed City for both nursery and school, in 2011 and 2013, respectively.
The Green Land board governs the school, led by chairman Amr Moukhtar. The coordinators of the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme report to the chairman.
In 2007, the school was awarded the Robert Blackburn Award for the best CAS project in Africa. The school's community service team raised funds to renovate a hospital in a nearby village and provide it with the equipment needed for it to run.
Green Land Pré Vert became a full IB World School through in the years 2003 to 2005, after being authorized to offer the Diploma Programme (DP).
