The school hosts two campuses the original one in Ghamra founded in 1904 and a second campus founded in 1911 on Beirut street at [[Heliopolis, Cairo|Heliopolis]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=SECTION FRANÇAISE DU COLLEGE DU SACRE-COEUR LYCEE GHAMRA ECOLE BILINGUE FRANCOPHONE|url=https://www.fabert.com/etablissement-prive/30214/SECTION-FRANÇAISE-DU-COLLEGE-DU-SACRE-COEUR-LYCEE-GHAMRA-ECOLE-BILINGUE-FRANCOPHONE.html|access-date=2021-10-08|website=Fabert|language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=AEFE {{!}} Collège du Sacré-Cœur de Ghamra - section française|url=https://www.aefe.fr/reseau-scolaire-mondial/rechercher-un-etablissement/egypte-le-caire-college-du-sacre-coeur-de-ghamra|access-date=2021-10-08|website=Agence pour l'enseignement francais a l'étranger }}</ref> Despite being labelled a [[collège]], the school covers all years from nursey through secondary and is a member of The [[Network of Sacred Heart Schools]]. ==History== The Collège was founded in 1904 under the name '''Pensionnat du Sacré-Cœur''' (Sacred Heart [[boarding school]]). A second school was added at the urging of [[Ismail Sidky]] as a way to provide French-language instruction to the newly constructed city of [[Heliopolis, Cairo|Heliopolis]] in 1911.<ref name ="history1" /> The school's building was built in 1900's with the distinct Heliopolis style modeled after the [[orientalism|orientalist]] designs of [[Édouard Empain]]. The school's early classes had a small number of girls most of whom where European but overtime grew rapidly and would come to primarily consist of Egyptian citizens.<ref name ="history2">{{cite web |title=Sacre Coeur History |url=http://www.sacrecoeurhelio.com/un-peu-dhistoire/ |website=College Du Sacre Coeur |access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref> [[File:College du Sacre Coeur 1eme Section.png|thumb|Students from the 1eme Class 1929]] During the [[First World War]] the school acted as a refuge for those fleeing under both the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] and [[German Empire|German]] empires. The school also served as the chapel and camp for [[Australians]] while students helped to aid those wounded at the hospital set up at the [[Heliopolis Palace| Heliopolis Palace Hotel]]. Similarly, during the [[Second World War]], the school housed many refugees freeing from Nazi-occupied France.<ref name ="history2" /> Following the [[Egyptian revolution of 1952|revolution of 1952]], the school underwent many changes. The structure of the school would no longer be a Catholic boarding school instead focusing on day classes and opening up its doors to non-Christians. Coinciding with this was a shift from a purely French educational system to one focused on the French-language and a new "franco-egyptian" curriculum.<ref name ="history2" /> In 2005, the school was certified by the [[Institut Français]] to include courses to prepare students for the [[French Baccalauréat]] but does not offer the exam itself.<ref name ="history2" /> ==Architecture== The school's campus in Heliopolis has been noted for its distinct architecture in a neo-[[Mamluk]] style. It was in part designed by [[Édouard Empain]] as a part of his constructed city.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dobrowolska |first1=Agnieszka |last2=Dobrowolska |first2=Jarosław |title=Heliopolis: Rebirth of the City of the Sun |date=2006 |publisher=American University in Cairo Press |isbn=9789774160080 |page=174 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g1s80vojgmEC&q=sacre |access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref> The school would become a symbol of the neighborhood in Cairo and was even featured in a graphic novel and art installation in [[Dubai]]<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chaves |first1=Alexandra |title=Last chance to see: Nora Zeid celebrates a different side of Cairo in Dubai exhibition |url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/art/2021/10/18/last-chance-to-see-nora-zeid-celebrates-a-different-side-of-cairo-in-dubai-exhibition/ |website=National News |access-date=23 October 2021 |date=18 October 2021}}</ref> [[File:1929 petit primaire heliopolis.jpg|thumb|Primary School in 1929 highlighting Mamluk-inspired archways]] ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== *{{Cite web|title=Sacré-Cœur d'Héliopolis|url=http://www.sacrecoeurhelio.com/sacre-coeur-dheliopolis/|access-date=2021-10-08|website=Collège du Sacré-Cœur|language=en}} Heliopolis campus official website *{{Cite web|title=Sacré Coeur Page d'accueil|url=https://www.sacrecoeurgh.edu.eg/|access-date=2021-10-08|website=www.sacrecoeurgh.edu.eg}} Ghamra campus official website * [http://www.sofie.org Network of Sacred Heart Schools]. {{Portal bar|Catholicism|Schools|Egypt}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:College Du Sacre-Coeur}} [[Category:Christianity in Cairo]] [[Category:Private schools in Cairo]] [[Category:Catholic Church in Egypt]]
