Paphos is located on the southwestern coast of the island of Aphrodite.
Today it is one of the most popular destinations for young families from Europe and other countries as well as for business relocation. Let's talk about the schools operating in this beautiful city.
Studying at a school on the Mediterranean coast is an extraordinary and delightful experience. The population of Paphos is about 32 thousand people. Not so much, but the city is constantly developing and growing.
Public Schools
Public schools in Cyprus are free and available to absolutely every child over 6 years old. It is known that the Cypriot government invests well in education, approximately 8% of GDP. Thus, highly qualified teachers work in schools.
Upon graduation, children enter local and foreign universities. Some families first choose Greek primary schools, and then private English high schools.
Private schools
Private educational institutions are popular among children of foreigne families. This creates a unique international atmosphere and gives kids an experience of different traditions and cultures. These schools teach mostly in English.
English schools
English schools have kindergartens, where children are taught not only the basics of the language, but also reading, arithmetic, and even a bit of science. The annual cost of education in a private English school varies from 3.5 thousand euros in kindergarten to 8 thousand euros in high school. As a rule, payment is made in several stages, and discounts of 5-10% are sometimes promised for paying the full amount within one transfer.
The International School of Paphos Private (ISOP)
The largest and most popular private school in Paphos, ISOP, was founded in 1987. It is located on Aristoteli Savva street, close to Makariou Avenue. The nearest areas are Mesa Chorio, Tala, Chloraka and Kannaviou.
The International School operates at the British Embassy. After the successful completion of the program, students are issued a state-recognized certificate. To enter, the child takes an entrance test in English and mathematics.
ISOP is also a boarding school. It offers a modern international environment for the child. The professional team is here to help children prepare for the challenges they face both in and out of the classroom. The community today has up to 70 girls and boys aged 11 to 18, some of whom live in the school 7 days a week, while others go home on weekends.
Aspire Private British School
In Kato Paphos, not far from the famous Tombs of the Kings, there is another well-known state-accredited school - the Aspire British Academy, where the training program is built on the classic British model. Graduates receive a certificate of secondary education in the English program, and even a local Apolytirion certificate.
TLC Private School
Some families living in Peyia, far from the center, prefer TLC Private School. The school is small, but the construction of a new additional building has already begun. It is expected to be completed in 2 years.
The school is only 13 years old, but it is developing rapidly and thanks to this it is very popular both among locals and among foreigners. Children from 3 to 18 years old study here, from kindergarten to Sixth Form classes. For the convenience of parents, a transfer from home to school is organized.
The Sixth Form High School is the flagship of the TLC school community. It is made up of students who have obtained at least B grades in the IGCSE exams or who have come from other schools to complete an A level qualification before continuing their studies at universities in the UK, Europe and around the world. Along with A levels, students can also earn additional IGCSE qualifications or expand their education by studying in an Apolytirion course or completing BTEC practical qualifications.
