El Nasr Girls' College

El Nasr Girls' College (EGC) (كلية النصر للبنات) is a school in Shatby, Alexandria, Egypt. It was established in 1935, and was originally known as English Girls College.

History
The college was founded in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of George V during the time when Egypt was under Protectorate status.

The buildings were designed by the English architect George Grey Wornum in a “Spanish – Arabic style of architecture” to accommodate a maximum of 1000 pupils. The buildings stood in over 20 feddans of land donated by the Governorate of Alexandria. The school site went up to the main Boulevard "Abu Keir Avenue". The Minister of Education donated a big section to the faculty of science, which stands there today.

Aim
It followed the British system of education for a very select group of girls. It was run on the lines of an English public school. Students studied for Oxford and Cambridge examinations, and played British games.

Until 1956 the staff were all British, but they were expelled as a result of the Suez crisis of 1956.
