The Island Private School

The Island Private School is a polysystemic educational hub that offers 3 programmes (International Baccalaureate, Waldorf & Montessori) under one roof. We follow a holistic approach, offering a full-day learning environment (08:00-18:00) for international students of diverse cultural backgrounds.

Starting from Pre-Primary, the educational journey at our school supports students on their learning path, tailoring education to individual needs, aspirations and connecting it to real-life experiences and up-to-date practices.

We are committed to providing high-quality, challenging, international education that fosters critical thinking, global perspectives, and holistic development of students.

We are proud to be the first and only one fully accredited IB World School for the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) in Cyprus. Also we are the only school in Cyprus offering Waldorf Programme.

Our school strives to offer the most progressive educational programmes to our students. At the moment we are preparing to bring an IB Career-Related Programme (CP) candidate. This prestigious programme offers Year 11-12 students the chance to develop career-focused skills and prepare for their future.
