About international schools in Greece
International schools in Greece are concentrated mainly around Athens, with a smaller cluster in Thessaloniki and a few options on larger islands and Crete, and they serve a mix of expatriate, diplomatic, returnee and local families. English is the dominant language of instruction, while Greek is usually taught as a subject and some schools offer bilingual streams; the most common curricula are the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British programmes (IGCSE/GCSE and A-levels) and American K - 12/AP tracks, with a handful offering other national systems. Tuition varies by school and age, but a commonly reported figure for international schools in Athens is around €12,000 a year, with many schools charging in the low- to mid-five-figure range and additional one-off registration fees, deposits and extras for transport and activities. Admissions follow the school academic year (September start), so families should plan applications and assessments several months ahead and check each school’s age cut-offs, language-support provision and recognition of certificates for university entry in their destination country.

The most widely offered are IB (DP) (9), Bespoke Curriculum (4), British Curriculum (4), Cambridge IGCSE (4), Cambridge A Levels (4). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover

Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Greece run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
Most schools here are day schools; check individual profiles for any boarding options.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Greece we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
