About Nafyad School
Over 30 years of transforming lives through quality education in Ethiopia — from a single campus in Adama to a network of 10+ schools across the region.
One of Ethiopia's Most Respected Private Schools
Nafyad School was founded in 1993 E.C. in Adama (Nazret), Kebele 10, with a bold vision: to provide exceptional early childhood education that would set students on a path to lifelong success. The flagship campus, spanning 25,866m², became a model of educational excellence in the region.
What began as a KG–Grade 4 institution rapidly grew in response to community demand and student achievement. By 1995 E.C., Nafyad offered a complete education from Kindergarten through Grade 12 — one of the few private institutions in Eastern Ethiopia to do so.
Today, Nafyad School operates 10+ campuses across Eastern Showa and West Harerge zones, serving thousands of students and contributing meaningfully to Ethiopia's educational development.
