Depending on your plans for the future education of the child and your place of residence, you can choose to study in public Greek schools or in private Greek, English or Russian schools.
Cypriots are famous for their reverent love for children, and the state spends more than 7% of its GDP on education (it is worth noting that this indicator is one of the highest in the European Union). The local schools are well equipped and staffed with highly qualified teachers, the school buildings are modern, with large adjacent areas — all that is needed for the growth and development of the national wealth of Cyprus is children.
The Greek schools of Cyprus have a 12-year education system. Starting at 6 years old, by the age of 18 children are ready to enter higher education institutions. At the end of the Cypriot school, graduates receive Apolytirion — the State High School Diploma, which is recognized by universities around the world.
Cyprus also offers to get education in one of the private schools. It should be noted that Limassol has the largest number of English and Russian private schools, and this is another reason why Limassol is so popular among foreigners.


The higher education system in Cyprus is well developed. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that universities adhere to the European model of training, but students have the opportunity to become holders of three diplomas:
Bachelor — issued after the next two years;
Masters — after all six years of study.
Teaching at Cypriot universities is carried out in Greek and English.
At universities, the school year is divided into 3 semesters, which last from:
September to January;
February to May;
June to July.
Thanks to a well-designed education program, students have the opportunity to independently choose the intensity of study. Therefore, the summer semester is not obligatory — everyone is free to choose whether to study or not.
Higher education in Cyprus is becoming increasingly popular, since in some universities and colleges students may receive a double diploma. For example, in the Intercollege, where students learn the basics of hotel business management, you can also get a diploma from Indianapolis University.
To become a student in Cyprus, you do not need to pass gruelling exams. You will need to timely apply for admission to your chosen university, arriving in person or sending all the necessary documents by mail.
Those who do not have the required number of points on the test results can be trained in language courses. You can start learning at any time, September is not required for admission.
The cost of education at Cypriot universities is in the range of 4-8,5 thousand euros per year. For successful students there is a special reward system. If the examinations show outstanding abilities, payment may be reduced by 30% or 50%.
Many higher education institutions have been accredited in the United States and Europe. This means that students can participate in various exchange programs and are given the opportunity to receive higher education at a European university or in US higher education institutions.
