About Nucleus
A Full LifeBegins Here
Nucleus is growing from one of Addis Ababa’s most trusted homes for early childhood into a full Cambridge international school — without ever losing the warmth that built it.
Our Story
Care first. Then the world.
Nucleus began as a place parents chose for safety, warmth and genuine care. Today that same foundation is becoming a full Cambridge international school.
Our Vatican campus is our proof of concept — where we show, every day, that elite academic standards and a nurturing, secure environment belong together. It is the first step in a longer journey, with a second campus planned for Gerji.
