Education in Cyprus is mandatory for all children, and is separated into pre-school (1 year), primary school (6 years), and secondary: gymnasium (3 years) and lyceum (3 years). According to their goals and budget, parents can opt for public school (no-fee, language of instruction is Greek) or private British/international school (language of instruction is English).

Living in Cyprus offers the perfect opportunity to practice the Greek Language and many students are amazed at how quickly their language skills develop.

The International School of Pafos

The International School of Paphos is recognised both nationally and internationally. It is registered with and regularly inspected by the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture. It is also an approved centre for two of the largest UK examination boards, CIE (Cambridge International Examinations) and Edexcel / Pearson, as well as for the Ellinomatheia examinations (Greek language proficiency) from the Aristotelion University of Thessaloniki in Greece. In addition to IGCSE and GCE qualifications, which reflect a globally established standard of education, the school’s graduates receive a School-Leaving Certificate (Apolytirion) that is recognised in Cyprus, the United Kingdom and across Europe.

The ISOP has always included pupils from Cyprus, the United Kingdom and over 20 other European and non-European countries. The School strives to create an educational environment that is inclusive and in which every member of staff, every student and every family, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender, is equally valued. At the same time, the school is rooted in a Christian community and the Greek language and traditions are an integral part of our school ethos.

All students participate in Citizenship lessons enabling them to become responsible and productive members of the global society.

The school is also a centre for the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL), recognised by the Cyprus Computer Society and CEPIS (Council of European Professional Informatics Societies).

ASPIRE Private British School

Aspire Private British School delivers the British National Curriculum to children from the age of three, leading to GCSE, IGCSE and A level qualifications. The quality education is delivered by experienced teachers who recognise the importance of an inspirational learning environment and is supplemented with an extensive extra-curricular programme.

At the Aspire the lessons of Greek language are provided at varying levels so that native Greek students as well as students who adopt Greek as a further language are given an opportunity to progress at their own level.

An additional language to GCSE level is something that many universities see in a very favourable light and the students who are capable of GCSE  and later AS and A2 level Greek are encouraged to take these qualifications at an early stage.

Neapolis University Pafos (NUP) is one of the leading private universities in Cyprus, with students from all around the world. A vibrant academic institution focusing on high quality education, research that aims to provide top educational services to the Cypriot region and beyond.
