What exact fees are due before the first day of school?

Admissions FAQs

Common planning questions before applying.

When should parents start applying to private schools in Cyprus?

For popular entry years, start narrowing options 9 to 18 months before the intended start date. Ask each school when applications open, when assessments run, and whether places are filled on a rolling basis.

Are admissions dates enough before applying?

No. Use dates to plan the process, but also ask about curriculum fit, language support, class sizes, transport, fees, assessment format, and the exact documents required.

What documents are usually needed for admissions?

Schools commonly ask for passports or IDs, birth certificates, previous reports, vaccination or medical information, learning support documentation where relevant, and proof of address or parent details.
