One Planet International School, Ethiopia

Our high school students recently took part in the Global Studies Fair at school, where they met representatives from universities around the world, including Canada, UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Malta, Turkey, Malaysia, UAE, Mauritius, Grenada, Europe, and other global institutions.

Students had the chance to explore future academic and career opportunities and ask questions directly to university representatives—an exciting step in planning their next chapter!

We’re proud of their curiosity and enthusiasm and look forward to supporting them as they make important decisions about their future.

"Addressing All Components of an Education"

“Centered on the notion of service.”

Our Year 6 students recently enjoyed a wonderful Caring Day: a Potted Plant Planting activity held outside the school compound. This meaningful experience is part of our Virtue Program, through which students learn to demonstrate the value of caring through purposeful action.

During this special event, students worked together to plan and prepare potted plants that will be shared as symbols of kindness, responsibility, and environmental awareness. The activity helped them connect classroom learning with real-life service and teamwork.

Thank you for your continued support as we nurture not only academic excellence, but also compassionate and responsible individuals.

"The Oneness of Mankind"

The Kindergarten division joyfully celebrated Cultural Day this week. Our young learners came dressed in beautiful cultural attire representing diverse traditions and proudly brought a variety of cultural foods to share with their classmates.

The day was filled with color, learning, and appreciation as students explored different cultures through dress, food, and meaningful conversations. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate diversity and nurture respect and understanding among our children.

"Education should strive to develop an integrated set of capabilities"

On Friday, February 6, 2026, our Year 8 students visited the Children’s Heart Fund of Ethiopia at Black Lion Hospital. During the visit, students learned about the organization’s vital work in supporting children with heart conditions and assisting their families. It was a touching and meaningful experience that helped our students develop empathy, kindness, and a deeper understanding of the importance of helping others in our community.

Thank you for your continued support in making such learning experiences possible.

We are proud to share that our school successfully hosted its first Inter-scholastic Model United Nations (OPIMUN), bringing together students from over five schools. The event was filled with engaging and thought-provoking discussions, as students demonstrated strong critical thinking, collaboration, and diplomacy skills.

It was truly inspiring to see our learners confidently exchange ideas and engage with global issues in such a meaningful way.
