History
The school was established on April 24, 1936 as an English missionary school. It is one of the largest English schools in Heliopolis. It was located in Qubba Palace on a 5-acre property bought for 11000 Sterling pounds. The money was donated by friends from England and Egypt. The name of the school was English Mission College and remained as such until 1956 when the British missionaries handed the school to the Episcopal Church of Egypt.
It is divided into a kindergarten, a preparatory school which is co-educational, and two separate schools for each gender during junior and secondary stages. It has a garden and a large garage for buses.
In 1956, the name was changed to Episcopal Mission College. In 1958, the school name was changed into As-salam College by the Egyptian Ministry of Education which had taken over all the British and French schools in Egypt.
