We encourage families to plan your transition to Addis to allow your children to start school at the beginning of the school year. The beginning of the second semester in January is a good alternative. However, we understand that this is not always possible.
Please contact the Admissions Office to discuss your child’s start date. This is critical for incoming high school students, due to credit requirements for graduation. Elementary and middle school students are generally not allowed to start school less than 30 days before the last day of the school year. Students who wish to start during the last quarter of the year will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
We ask families for a semester commitment for the enrollment of a student. Therefore tuition is charged per semester. Students who attend for any portion of a semester are charged the full semester tuition.
Local applicants (those already attending school in Addis) may start school at the beginning of the school year in August.
