Ethiopia’s rich history, geography, and culture are thoughtfully woven into our curriculum across all grade levels. Students engage with Ethiopian art, literature, and history through interdisciplinary projects, study trips, and guest speakers. Our students learn about significant cultural landmarks, historical events, and local traditions, enhancing their global perspective while also gaining a deeper appreciation for the country that is home to our school.

ICS Addis actively seeks to give back to our local community by forming meaningful partnerships with local organizations and participating in service projects. Our students are involved in a range of community service initiatives that benefit the local community, such as environmental conservation projects, support for local schools, and partnerships with non-profits focused on education and health. These programs not only benefit the community but also foster a sense of responsibility and empathy among our students.

We encourage all of our families to embrace and connect with Ethiopian culture through cultural excursions, workshops, and community events. Whether it’s a guided tour of historic Addis Ababa or a family outing to experience the country’s natural wonders, ICS Addis provides families with opportunities to explore and appreciate the beauty and diversity of Ethiopia. At ICS Addis, we celebrate our host country with respect, joy, and a deep commitment to learning from the people and traditions of Ethiopia. This engagement strengthens our identity as a global school rooted in the local culture, fostering a deep connection between our community and the country we call home.
