Applications and visits
When should you apply to schools in Cyprus?
For public schools, enrolment for September opens in January. Private and international schools set their own dates and many keep waiting lists, so apply as early as you can. We shortlist schools by curriculum, language and area and prepare the applications and visits.
Are international schools in Cyprus taught in English?
Most international and private schools teach in English and follow a foreign curriculum. Public schools teach in Greek. Curriculum, fees and free places differ from school to school. We compare the options in your area before you sign a lease and plan the visits around your move date.
