Facilities are ok, better than most schools. Currently being upgraded to have more basketball courts etc.
This school has done very little to help my child transition. The teachers are rude, unhelpful and act like it is just a paid job to them. There is much favoritism/discrimination as many teachers have kids at the school. There are cliques that seem to be encouraged by the teachers and high school (actually from grade 8 and up) is full of drugs, smoking, sex and drinking. There are programs designed to help kids like after school help but they are actually useless and most teachers don't seem to have the necessary skills to find alternative means of teaching when a child does not understand the standard way. Tuition fees are the highest among all the international schools in Addis.
Parents are not allowed to use most of the indoor facilities (basketball and exercise gym) which is tough because such facilities are limited in the city. However, parents can use the small track and the field which is helpful.
Bingham has similar facilities and students perform well academically and in extra curricular activities. Sandford students also perform well academically and the fees are much more reasonable (like Bingham) but facilities are lacking and there are less international students. ICS is way to expensive for the (substandard) education offered but there are not many choices unfortunately.
