International schools in Cyprus: common questions

What counts as an international school in Cyprus?

On PrivateSchools.cy, an international school is a private school whose profile lists an international curriculum: British (the National Curriculum for England, IGCSEs or A-Levels), the International Baccalaureate, American or French. Schools that only teach other programmes, such as the Cyprus national curriculum, are listed in the main directory.

How many international schools are there in Cyprus?

PrivateSchools.cy currently lists 68 international schools. By city: Limassol 29, Nicosia 23, Paphos 8, Larnaca 6, Famagusta 2. The numbers update as schools join the directory or update their curriculum details.

Should we choose a British, IB, American or French school?

Start with where your child is likely to study next. British schools lead to IGCSEs and A-Levels, IB schools to the IB Diploma, American schools to a High School Diploma and French schools to the baccalauréat. Changing system is easiest before age 14, so ask each school which exams it offers for your child's year group.

Do international schools in Cyprus charge fees?

Yes. They are private schools, and fees vary by school and year group. Many profiles publish a fee schedule; compare annual fees and extras such as registration, books, uniforms and transport before you shortlist.

When should we apply?

The school year starts in September. Many international schools admit pupils during the year when places are free, while some hold entrance exams on fixed dates in the spring. Ask each school for its admissions timeline and check the entrance exam dates tracker.

How do we ask a school about places?

Open the school's profile and use Request info to send your question through PrivateSchools.cy. You can also compare up to three schools side by side before you decide.
