About international schools in Greece

IB-curriculum international schools in Greece form a modest but established sector concentrated around Athens and the larger regional cities; nationally there are a couple of dozen IB World Schools, with many offering the Diploma Programme and a number authorised for the Primary and Middle Years Programmes. Instruction is commonly in English, often supplemented by Modern Greek and by other modern languages, and several schools operate bilingual tracks or deliver the IB alongside parts of the Greek national curriculum. Tuition is quoted in euros and typically falls in a broad band - roughly low-to-mid five-figures for a year in many established day schools, with lower costs for some smaller or regional providers and higher costs for senior DP places; families should budget separately for one-off registration or capital levies, school transport and IB exam entries. Most schools follow a Northern-Hemisphere academic calendar with the main intake in August/September but many offer rolling mid-year entry, so relocating families are advised to contact admissions several months before a planned move.

FAQs for Greece

Which IB programmes and age ranges will I find in Greece?
Greek IB schools commonly offer one or more parts of the IB continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP, roughly ages 3 - 12), the Middle Years Programme (MYP, roughly ages 11 - 16) and the Diploma Programme (DP, roughly ages 16 - 19). Individual schools vary in which programmes they are authorised to teach, so check each school’s IB authorisation list and the exact age/grade mapping used locally.
What language(s) of instruction should we expect and will our child be taught Greek?
Most IB international schools in Greece teach primarily in English, and many build Modern Greek into the timetable either as a taught subject or through bilingual pathways; some schools also offer other modern languages and mother-tongue support. If keeping or improving Greek is important you should ask schools about the frequency and level of Greek language and literature lessons, and whether Greek can be taken to the level required for national equivalence.
How much do IB international schools in Greece cost and what extras should we budget for?
Published annual tuition at IB schools in Greece varies by year group and school but typically ranges from lower single-figure thousands to mid-five-figure euros, with many established Athens schools quoting broadly €7,000 - €18,000+ depending on age and provision. Beyond headline tuition expect one-off registration or capital/development charges, annual transport and meals, extracurricular activity costs and separate IB exam or external assessment fees for senior students.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
The principal intake for most IB schools follows the school year that starts in late August or September, and a significant number of schools also operate rolling admissions for available places; popular year groups can fill many months ahead. Admissions commonly include an application form, previous school reports, an English or subject screening test (and sometimes a short interview), plus proof of residence and vaccination records, so begin the process several months before your move and check each school’s specific checklist.
Will an IB Diploma allow my child to study at Greek universities or give them equivalence with the Apolytirio?
Recognition has historically required specific procedures for foreign qualifications, and in recent policy developments Greece has been moving to integrate IB provision more formally into its system; families should verify current rules because university entry and formal equivalence depend on Ministry of Education procedures and any recent legislative changes. For practical purposes, contact the school, the Greek Ministry of Education or the national recognition authority (DOATAP) before enrolment to confirm how an IB credential will be treated for Greek university admissions and civil-service requirements.
What should we look for when comparing IB schools in Greece?
Check which parts of the IB continuum the school is authorised to teach, the language(s) of instruction and provision for mother-tongue or EAL support, published fees and the full list of extras, and whether the school is accredited by recognised international bodies. Also review recent inspection or accreditation reports, class sizes and pastoral support, university or progression guidance for DP students, and practical matters such as transport routes and proximity to your neighbourhood.
