Greeks consider private or international education superior to the country’s public school system. In fact, Greece has one of the highest private school attendance figures in Europe. So you’ll find plenty of local children in Athens’ international schools.

A few international schools in the city were established over a century ago, while some are newer. The older schools tend to be more traditional and are sometimes perceived as more ‘prestigious’, while the newer ones take a modern, global approach to learning. A handful of international schools are run by Christian religious foundations.

Most international schools in Athens are located in the north east of the city in areas such as Gerakas, Agia Paraskevi, Nea Erythrea or Chalandri. A small number of schools can be found closer to the sea along the city’s southern outskirts.

Most schools cater for children from kindergarten age right up until age 18. The IB and British curricula dominate in Athens’ international schools, but that doesn’t mean others can’t be found. The choice is actually quite diverse, although it does tend to be Europe-centric.

Greek is taught as an additional language in most international schools in Athens, with English being the primary language of instruction. Schools that follow a less popular curriculum such as German or French will teach through those languages respectively. A number of schools also offer the Greek national curriculum to cater for the large number of local students.

Some of the TOP schools are:

  • Lycée Franco-Hellénique Eugene Delacroix
