About international schools in Greece

American-curriculum international schools in Greece generally follow a US-style sequence leading to an American high-school diploma and commonly offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses; some schools also combine American programmes with other qualifications such as the IB or a Greek equivalency pathway. Instruction is predominantly in English, while Greek language classes (and Greek-language streams or support for native speakers) are widely provided to meet local expectations. Annual tuition varies by school and level but families in Athens should budget broadly in the low-to-mid five-figure euro range for primary and secondary places, with extra one-off registration or capital fees and optional costs for transport, lunches and exam registrations. Admissions follow the local school year (main intake for September) and most schools assess applications months in advance, with entry testing or interviews common for older year groups and limited mid-year vacancies in some grades.

FAQs for Greece

What does “American curriculum” mean in practice at a school in Greece?
An American-curriculum school typically uses US standards and grade levels, awards an American high-school diploma and often offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses or other college-preparatory options; some schools also run parallel programmes such as the IB Diploma or prepare students for Greek equivalency where required. Classroom instruction is primarily in English and the academic calendar and assessment style resemble those used in US independent and public college-preparatory schools.
What ages and qualifications do these schools cover?
Most American international schools in Greece serve the full range from early years or kindergarten through Grade 12, covering children roughly aged 3 to 18, and they award secondary qualifications that aim to prepare students for university admission abroad or, where the school provides equivalency support, for Greek higher education. Entry points and transfer rules vary by school; some limit transfers after lower secondary years for diploma integrity.
Is instruction only in English, and will my child learn Greek?
English is the primary language of instruction, but nearly all schools include Greek language teaching either as a modern language for international students or in separate streams for Greek nationals; schools also commonly offer additional language support or EAL (English as an additional language) programmes for newcomers. Families who need Greek recognition for further study in Greece should check how each school supports the Ministry of Education equivalency process.
How much should I budget for tuition and extra costs?
Tuition at international schools in Athens and other Greek cities varies considerably by school and by year group, with many schools’ annual fees for primary and secondary places falling in a broad range that parents should expect to be in the low-to-mid five-figure euro band; there are also one-off registration or enrolment fees and recurring extras such as transport, lunches, exam entry and capital or development levies. Check each school’s published fee schedule for the exact academic year and ask about what is included in the headline fee and payment schedules.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process involve?
The main intake is for the new school year starting in September, and most schools expect applications several months ahead with place offers, deposits and enrolment paperwork completed before term starts; smaller or mid-year intakes may be possible but places can be limited. Admissions commonly include submission of previous school records, an interview and age- or grade-appropriate assessments in English and maths for older children, and schools may require proof of immunisations and identity documentation as part of enrolment.
