I have a B.A. in Art and Languges from USA. I will be teaching English in a language school in Egypt. I'm not familiar with the school system here. I need to know what English level they teach in different school grades so I can decide what grades to teach. Like how advanced they go in Grammar, structures..etc in middle and high school. If you have attended language schools in Egypt please let me know because I need to familiarize myself with the system and know what to expect.

It depends on the kind of the school. I used to work in a language school, but is a "public school" , so the level of English wasn't that great. "Mine isn't too"
There are also private language schools. They are a bit higher than public schools. Things are better there but still . It is not suitable for someone like you who got her degree from America.
Now, the last kind is International schools. Those which use the American system and the British system. I have never worked there because I am not that good, but that is the place for native speaker and those like you who got their degrees from America.
So, the question is : what kind of schools are u going to work in ? I can help u if u r going to work in one of the first 2 kinds cuz I have experience in working there Although I don't recommend working there cuz I think it is so much beneath you.

Hey there,
I went to a German School. My first language was German, second English and third French. You would expect our English to be weak. On the contrary, after I graduated and went to college, I realized that my English (as a 2nd language) is a whole lot better than many of my colleagues who have been to English schools, and thus learned English as their 1st language.
So here's my point: If you're reeeeally good with the language (which I assume you are) you can try and work in one of the German Schools. They need high quality teachers and they'll pay you good in return. If not, you can always go to English Schools because I'm sure your qualities will be just fine for what they're looking for. Good English teachers are hard to find! That's why in the German Schools most of the teachers, even those teaching English, are German.
Good luck! :)

don't worry about it,
whatever will be, it is surely below your degree and knowledge.
i m sure they will give you the syllabus to be prepared.
good luck.
