Welcome to Addis Hiwot School
We Strive for the Success of Our Students!
Addis Hiwot School is a K–12 private school where students stay for years, not semesters — and leave with friendships, not just diplomas.
Why Families Choose Us
A few things families and alumni consistently mention.
Strong Results, Hands-On Learning
Students ranked among Dire Dawa's top scorers in national entrance exams — with science fairs, sports, and field trips giving them real experience beyond the textbook.
A School That Remembers Your Name
Alumni describe a school where teachers and classmates know each other by name for years — the kind of individual attention that's hard to find at a larger school.
Rooted in Dire Dawa
Addis Hiwot School has been part of this city's fabric for years — not a franchise, not generic, but a school that belongs to this community specifically.
From KG Through Grade 12, One Community
Many students start in kindergarten and stay straight through secondary school, building the long, close friendships people still talk about years later.
