The Asmara International Community School (K-12) has just been approved for IB accreditation. I think it's a reasonable school, but we don't have kids, so I have no direct experience and nothing to compare it to. The Italian government also runs an Italian school (K-12) here. - Feb 2019

There is a good international school here. I have heard really good things about it, and we were close with the Director. However, for the U.S Embassy, Eritrea is an adults-only assignment. . - Dec 2016
