What the school run actually looks like by district.

Choosing a school is what most relocations actually pivot on. Cyprus has good public Greek-medium schools, strong British-curriculum private schools, and a handful of IB and American ones. Below is the practical landscape per district, with notes on commute.

Larnaca

  • American Academy Larnaca

    ~€6-9k/yr

    American + British dual stream; mid-priced.

Limassol

  • The Foley's School

    ~€8-12k/yr

    British curriculum, IGCSE/A-Level. Waiting list — apply 12 months ahead.

  • Heritage Private School

    ~€10-14k/yr

    IB + British. Strong sciences.

Nicosia

  • American International School (AISN)

    ~€14-22k/yr

    American curriculum + IB. Diplomatic + embassy families.

  • Falcon School

    British curriculum, large campus, school bus from most Paphos suburbs.
