GOOD TO KNOW
A few things parents ask
Why are fees in dollars?
Tuition is set in US dollars, but you pay in birr at a fixed rate of 130 ETB to the dollar. That rate is held for the entire academic year, so your cost does not move if the exchange rate does.
Is the registration fee part of tuition?
No. It is a separate one-time payment of 3,000 ETB that secures your child’s place.
What if we only need a few weeks?
Short-term enrolment is charged at $30 per day, for any stay under thirty days.
Does the ACT Programme replace regular classes?
No. Children in ACT stay in mainstream classrooms with their peers. The additional fee covers the specialist support layered on top.
