The Collège de la Sainte Famille (English: School of the Holy Family; Arabic: مدرسة العائلة المقدسة), often abbreviated as CSF and referred to as Jésuites, is a private French Catholic international school for boys run by the Near East province of the Society of Jesus in Cairo, Egypt. It was founded in 1879, following a request by Pope Leo XIII for a seminary to help prepare students to become priests.
