Eden School teaches KG 1 through Grade 8 in Addis Ababa. We have been doing it for over 21 years, and we still know every student by name.
Eden School opened with a straightforward aim: teach children properly, and treat them properly while you do it. That has not changed.
Today the school has around 760 students and more than 60 teachers, from KG 1 through Grade 8. Lessons are structured, homework gets checked, and parents hear from us before a small problem turns into a big one.
We are not trying to be the largest school in the city. We are trying to be one where every student is known by name and the standards hold.
We set the bar high, then give students the teaching, the time and the materials to clear it. Results are reviewed every term, and nobody is quietly left behind.
Honesty, respect and responsibility are taught the way maths is taught — deliberately, and every day. A clever student who cheats has not learned anything.
Music, drawing, football and club activities sit in the timetable, not around the edges of it. Plenty of children find their footing here first.
Parents hear from teachers regularly, not only when something has gone wrong. Meetings, reports and phone calls are part of the routine.
Grade 8 is not the finish line. We want students leaving here with the language, the study habits and the confidence to handle whatever school comes after.
Bullying gets dealt with, not managed around. Children who feel safe ask questions, and children who ask questions learn.
Four stages, one school. Each is built around what children that age actually need — not a shrunken version of the grade above.
Play, stories, letters and numbers. Children learn to sit, share, listen and read — the habits everything after this depends on.
Ask About KG →Reading, writing and maths get serious, alongside science that involves doing things rather than copying them. We watch closely for anyone slipping behind.
Ask About Grades 1–4 →Subjects separate out and the workload steps up. Students take on responsibility around the school and start to find what they are good at.
Ask About Grades 5–6 →The two years that decide where a student goes next. Harder coursework, close mentoring, and honest reporting to parents about where their child stands.
Ask About Grades 7–8 →My daughter joined in Grade 3 and she was a shy child. Her teacher called me at home twice in that first month, just to say how she was settling in. No school had done that before.
Enrolment for the coming year is open. The best way to decide is to visit — walk the corridors, meet a teacher, and ask us anything you like.
