MYP Authorization a Milestone in School's World-Class Offerings

We are thrilled to announce that ICS Addis has officially been authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) school!

This achievement marks an important milestone in our commitment to providing world-leading educational programs and ensuring our students benefit from a continuous, high-quality learning experience from Early Years through Grade 12.

The MYP authorization strengthens our position as a premier international school, offering the IB continuum—including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). This seamless progression across all grade levels ensures that ICS students engage in an internationally recognized, inquiry-based, and student-centered education that prepares them to thrive in a complex and ever-changing world.

With the MYP in place, our middle school students now benefit from a dynamic curriculum that nurtures intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary learning. The program emphasizes global perspectives, service learning, and real-world connections—values that are deeply embedded in the ICS experience. Our students are empowered to become independent learners, problem solvers, and engaged global citizens who take action in their communities.

MYP authorization also means that ICS continues to offer an unparalleled level of academic continuity. From the foundational years in the PYP to the rigorous and future-focused pathways of our High School programs including the DP, students receive an education that is not only internationally benchmarked but also deeply personalized to their interests and aspirations.

This milestone reflects the dedication of our exceptional educators, who have worked tirelessly to align our teaching and learning practices with the IB’s high standards. It also speaks to the unwavering support of our ICS community—students, parents, and staff—who believe in the transformative power of an IB education.

"As we celebrate this achievement, we look ahead with excitement to the opportunities this brings for our students," MYP Coordinator Daniel Suarez said. "The MYP ensures that ICS learners are challenged, engaged, and inspired, fully equipping them for success in their future academic and personal journeys."

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this incredible accomplishment! Together, we continue to make ICS Addis a leader in international education, where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and excel.
