Medhane Alem Preparatory school

Myself worked as a BIOLOGY teacher in the academic year 1986 - 87 in this school. The best academic year of my teaching experience in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia....

"ENTER HERE THE TIMELESS FELLOWSHIP OF HUMAN MIND" Medhane Alem School was founded by His imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I. It was the fourth modern school after Menilik II, Teferi Mekonnen and Empress Mennen School for Girls. It opened its doors as a boarding school, on Tikimt 27 1924 E.C. (October 17 1931) for 85 orphans to pursue academic and vocational training. The then famous architect, Lij Hailemariam Gezmu, was appointed as the first principal of the school. There were five Ethiopian, four French teachers and a large contingent of auxiliary staff.

One of the oldest schools in Ethiopia established in 1924 EC.
