Academic Excellence

Students at the International Leadership Academy of Ethiopia are among the most  academically gifted in the country, chosen  for their leadership potential from among the top 5 percent of their class in urban, rural, expatriate, business and civic communities, regardless of income. ILAE’s rigorous and  well-rounded world-class curriculum will fully equip our students with the knowledge and experience needed to enter top universities around the world, preparing them for a  lifetime of leadership.

Service Based Leadership

The vision of the International Leadership Academy of Ethiopia is to inspire the next generation of socially responsible global leaders, providing students with the academic and social skills they need to succeed. Our students will receive an exemplary education, learning not only from our highly qualified academic faculty, but also from distinguished guest lecturers with varied local, regional and international experience.

Global Perspective

The International Leadership Academy of Ethiopia’s goal is to equip each student with the knowledge and  practical experience they need to become successful, critical-thinking leaders of the next generation.

Our rigorous, interdisciplinary academic curriculum is modeled on the best practices of global college-prep  studies, including the international baccalaureate and the Advanced Placement programs. In addition, it will incorporate all five “Critical Success Factors for 21st Century Education”— a study sponsored by  Microsoft Corporation, known as the “School of the Future Architecture.”

Success Factors:

  1. Involved and connected learning community
  2. Proficient and inviting curriculum-driven setting
  3. Flexible and sustainable learning environment
  4. Cross-curriculum integration of research and development
  5. Professional leadership

Through state-of-the-art technology and a worldwide network of sister college preparatory academies, ILAE  students will bridge the digital divide, immersing themselves in a robust world languages program that includes English, French and Chinese. Upon graduation, our students will be prime candidates for enrollment and full  or partial scholarships to the top universities in the world.
