It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Greek and English are the main languages of instruction. Additional languages offered are Spanish, German and French. Greek as an Additional Language (GAL) and English Remedial Support (ERS) provide language development and literacy support.
The school teaches in Greek and English. Subjects are delivered in both Greek and English through CLIL (Content & Language Integrated Learning), without requiring extra teaching hours. This bilingual approach underpins the IB curriculum.
DES Schools are a bilingual Greek-English IB pathway for children aged 3 to 16. DES delivers the International Baccalaureate Programme across Primary (PYP) and Middle Years (MYP), with a High School planned for 2026. The school is the first bilingual Greek institution to combine IB with the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Subjects are taught through CLIL, meaning Greek and English are core languages, with Spanish, German or French offered as additional languages. The curriculum emphasises inquiry, conceptual understanding and action, supported by Personalized, Differentiated, Blended learning and a Flipped Classroom approach. In PYP, students study Greek/English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, STEM, Coding, Music, Arts and Yoga. In MYP, eight subject groups are studied with criterion-related assessment, and Service as Action and the Personal Project are core components. Primary is in Varkiza; Secondary in Agia Marina Koropiou; High School opens in 2026. DES participates in Erasmus+ and is Round Square candidate.
