About international schools in Nicosia, Cyprus

British-curriculum international schools in Nicosia normally follow the English National Curriculum as adapted for international contexts and prepare students for I/GCSEs and A-levels, while also reflecting local Cypriot requirements and languages. Lessons are taught chiefly in English, with Modern Greek routinely part of the timetable and other modern languages (for example French, Turkish or Spanish) commonly offered as additional subjects. Published tuition at British-curriculum schools in Cyprus typically sits in a broad band from roughly €4,000 to around €10,000 a year, though exact fees, registration deposits and additional charges for exams, transport and activities vary by school. Families should expect a main intake in September (with occasional mid-year places and January entry at some schools), a registration or reservation payment to secure a place, and entrance assessments or interview processes for many year groups when demand is high.

FAQs for Cyprus

What does a 'British curriculum' school in Nicosia actually teach?
A British-curriculum school typically follows the National Curriculum of England adapted for international delivery, with core stages leading to I/GCSE examinations around age 16 and A-levels in the sixth form. Schools often add Cyprus-specific elements (for example Modern Greek) and offer a range of optional subjects and extracurricular programmes.
What ages and stages do these schools cover?
Many British-curriculum schools in Nicosia offer programmes from early years (pre-school) through primary and secondary to sixth form (roughly ages 3 - 18), though some providers cover only particular stages. Check a school’s published age range and whether it runs a continuous pathway from Reception to A-level if you need full, long-term continuity.
Is English the main language of instruction and will my child learn Greek?
English is the primary language of instruction in British international schools, and Modern Greek is usually taught as a compulsory or core language subject so children gain local language skills. Many schools also offer other modern languages as part of the curriculum or as extracurricular options.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Published tuition for British-curriculum international schools in Cyprus commonly ranges from about €4,000 to €10,000 per year, but some schools fall outside that band; families should also budget separately for registration or reservation fees, exam charges, uniforms, transport and school trips. Always request the full fee schedule and ask which extras are optional versus mandatory before accepting a place.
When do admissions take place and what does the process usually involve?
The main intake is in September, with some schools offering limited mid-year or January entry when places arise; popular year groups (such as Reception, Year 1, Year 7 and Year 12) can fill early. Admissions commonly require a completed application, copies of recent school reports, a registration or reservation payment, and for many schools an assessment, interview or short trial day to check academic fit and English proficiency.
