About international schools in Athens, Greece

Families choosing IB-curriculum international schools in Athens will find a mix of full IB-continuum schools and bilingual institutions that combine the IB with Greek-language provision, with many schools teaching primarily in English while offering Modern Greek as a strong second language. Annual tuition levels vary by age and school but commonly sit in a broad band from roughly €8,000 at entry levels up to around €20,000 - €22,000 for senior years, with additional charges for exams and optional services. Admissions typically follow the Greek school calendar with a September start; many schools operate rolling admissions but popular year groups can fill well in advance, so early enquiries and readiness for entry assessments are advisable. Several of the IB schools serving international families are located in the northern suburbs of Athens (for example Kifisia and Psychiko), so proximity to your home and transport links are practical considerations when you visit and compare options.

FAQs for Greece

What are the different IB programmes and which ages do they cover?
The IB comprises four main programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for roughly ages 3 - 11, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for about 11 - 16, the Diploma Programme (DP) for 16 - 19, and the Career-related Programme (CP) for older secondary students pursuing vocational pathways. Many international schools in Athens offer combinations of these (for example PYP - MYP - DP) to provide a continuous IB education through to university entry.
How much should I budget for fees and extra costs?
Tuition at IB international schools in Athens varies by school and year group but commonly falls in a range from around €8,000 at lower levels to upwards of €20,000 a year for senior secondary; exact charges depend on the school, campus and optional services. Budget additionally for registration or enrolment fees, annual school extras (transport, meals, activities) and DP examination or e-assessment charges that are billed separately.
What language(s) of instruction can I expect at IB schools in Athens?
Most IB international schools in Athens teach primarily in English while offering formal Modern Greek lessons and often support for Greek-speaking students, and a number of schools run Greek - English bilingual streams. Schools will also commonly offer other modern languages and language support for newcomers whose first language is not English.
When should we start the admissions process and what does it involve?
Begin enquiries as soon as you know your moving dates because popular year groups and well-established schools can fill months before the September intake; many schools do accept applications year-round but key entry points are at the start of the academic year. Admissions typically include submission of previous school reports, an application form, a meeting or interview with parents and child, and age-appropriate assessments in English and maths or a short piece of written work.
What should parents look for when comparing IB schools in Athens?
Check whether the school offers the full IB continuum you want (PYP, MYP, DP or CP), how long it has been authorised for each programme, and whether there is structured support for English-language learners and for learning Greek. Also compare published fee schedules, campus location and transport options, sample timetables and subject choices at DP level, and the practical details of admissions, additional costs and pastoral support before arranging visits.
