Candace International School is an international early‑years and primary school based in Addisu Gebeya, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The school follows a Candace Curriculum Framework that combines a British international programme (listed on the school site as Pearson's British International Curriculum and on file as Pearson Edexcel IGCSE pathways) with a parallel ‘My Ethiopia' programme covering Ethiopian languages, cultural studies, art and history. It currently operates as an early learning centre and lower primary provider, listing Reception 1 (age 3–4), Reception 2 (4–5) and Year 1 (5–6) classes and stating plans to register Years 2–6; the site also mentions Years 7–8 in its class listings. English is presented as the school's primary language provision (the site notes a native English language teacher), while the ‘My Ethiopia' programme delivers indigenous language and cultural learning. Facilities and programme features shown on the site include a STEAM room, arts, music and drama activities, small class sizes (maximum 24) and a summer camp component.
