Education
Changing schools is a big decision for parents and children alike. Bellow we will show you some of the excellent educational options available in Cyprus, from kindergartens to further education establishments for adults and universities.
For young children there are many private Kindergartens in Cyprus, looking after children from as young as 1 year up to the 6 years (which is the official age for children to primary school). Private Kindergartens offer flexible schedules for a competitive price. Most are open from 7a.m. till after 5:30p.m. Prices vary from place to place between 190-300 Euros per month, for full time care as well as food. The standard of care is usually very good in Cypriot private kindergartens, and all have to be licensed and subject to regular government checks.
State run Kindergartens are free and except children for under 3 years of age. They follow the Cypriot school times and close around 2 p.m. Compulsory pre-school education starts at the age of 4 y.o
For children of 6 years or older the choices are split between Cypriot state school and private educational establishments. All lessons in Cypriot schools are taught in Greek, where as private schools will teach in English or Russian. Schools following the UK and Russian Education system and teaching in the English and Russian language are available in all the major Cypriot towns.
Education after 6 is compulsory in Cyprus and free in state run schools. Fees for private schools in Cyprus are around 4000-8000 per year dependant on the establishment and the age of the child.
