About international schools in Cyprus

British-curriculum international schools in Cyprus commonly follow the National Curriculum for England and prepare students for Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels, offering a continuous pathway from early years through to university entrance. Instruction is generally English-medium, with Greek widely taught as an additional language and other modern languages often available depending on the school. Annual tuition varies considerably between schools and year groups, but families can typically expect primary fees in the low thousands of euros and secondary fees often rising into the mid-to-high thousands; some schools sit above or below those bands. The school year follows a September - June rhythm with the main intake in September and limited mid-year places; parents should start enquiries several months ahead and check each school’s language support and admissions requirements.

FAQs for Cyprus

What exactly does “British curriculum” mean in Cyprus schools?
In Cyprus, British-curriculum schools usually teach the National Curriculum for England or an adapted British programme and prepare pupils for internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSEs and AS/A-Level examinations. This pathway is designed to lead to UK and international university entry and is the most common qualification route among English-medium private schools on the island.
Which language will my child be taught in, and will they learn Greek?
Teaching in British international schools in Cyprus is predominantly in English; most schools also include Greek lessons as a foreign language and some have compulsory Greek elements to meet local regulations. Schools frequently offer additional modern languages and extra language support for children who join without prior Greek.
How much should we budget for school fees?
Tuition varies by school, age group and extras such as transport or activities, but recent fee surveys and local guides show many British-curriculum schools charging roughly €4,000 - €7,000 per year in primary and around €9,000 - €14,000 in secondary, while a minority of schools charge below or well above those ranges. Expect additional costs for registration, uniforms, exams and optional services, and always check each school’s published fee schedule for the current year.
When should we apply and what is the admissions timing?
The main intake is at the start of the school year in September, so families relocating in a school year should begin enquiries and submit applications several months beforehand; many schools also offer limited mid-year (January or rolling) admissions where space allows. Individual entry requirements, assessments and places vary, so contact schools early to confirm testing, documentation and possible waiting lists.
What ages and stages do British schools in Cyprus typically cover?
Most British international schools in Cyprus offer education from early years (pre-school or Reception) through primary and secondary up to Year 13, at which point pupils complete IGCSEs and A-Levels or equivalent qualifications for university entry. Offerings vary by school, so check whether a school provides continuous education to age 18 or only up to a particular stage.
What should parents look for when choosing a British-curriculum school in Cyprus?
Parents should check curriculum and exam programmes, language support for non-Greek speakers, published fee schedules and contract terms, staff qualifications and safeguarding policies, and any inspection or accreditation information a school can provide. Also consider pastoral care, class sizes, extra-curricular provision and how the school helps graduates progress to universities - these practical factors often matter more than labels when matching a school to a child’s needs.}]}
