You Are Unique
Forum Private Greek School combines the advantages of public education with those of private English-speaking education,, offering its students truly unique benefits. One of these is that its graduates have all pathways to higher education open and can choose their country of education up to the very last moment—six rather than seven years.
On the one hand, students are fully equipped to sit the Pancyprian Examinations and secure places at public universities in Cyprus and Greece. On the other, through preparation for A Levels and other external examinations, a large proportion of graduates go on to study with great success at highly prestigious universities abroad.
At the same time, students are taught, as standalone subjects, critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence, ensuring they are fully prepared for real life. Education takes place in a safe environment, with open channels of communication with parents and conditions that respect and embrace the uniqueness of every child. Beyond outstanding academic achievements, the School places particular emphasis on emotional support, constructive discipline, and initiatives that ensure students enjoy a happy and fulfilling school life.
Quality Education – Cognitive Development Programme (CDP)
Teaching Tailored to Each Student’s Needs. Combination of mixed-ability and ability-based classes
Through the implementation of the innovative Cognitive Development Programme (CDP)—pioneering in Cyprus—teaching is delivered both in mixed-ability classes and in ability-based groups. In Mathematics, Modern Greek, and English, students are grouped according to academic performance, allowing instruction to be tailored to their actual abilities and ensuring maximum academic progress.
Increased Teaching Hours in Core Subjects
Forum’s academic programme is based on the Cypriot national curriculum, ensuring students integrate into society with a strong understanding and appreciation of the country’s culture and identity. Compared to public schools, the programme is enriched with additional teaching periods in Mathematics, Modern Greek, and English at Gymnasium level, as well as in all subject specialisations at Lyceum level.
Life Skills for Today and Tomorrow
Forum has integrated essential life-oriented subjects into its curriculum, including:
• Critical Thinking
• Life Skills and Emotional Intelligence
• Self-Improvement and Mental Resilience
• Financial Literacy
Additional emphasis is placed on:
• Communication and Presentation Skills

Specialised Sports and Dance Departments
At Forum, sports and dance are not treated as extracurricular activities but as an integral part of the School’s educational philosophy.
The School operates a specialised Sports Department and a Dance Department (the first dedicated dance department in Cyprus), with structured programmes and appropriate facilities that allow students to systematically develop their skills.
Outstanding Academic Results and Multiple Study Pathways
High Admission Rates to Public Universities in Cyprus and Greece
Through the Pancyprian Examinations, Forum consistently achieves excellent admission results to the University of Cyprus and Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), with success rates exceeding 85%. The corresponding admission rate to Greek universities is 100%.
Forum students secure places in highly competitive programmes, with the vast majority achieving admission to their first-choice school.
Open Pathways to Higher Education Worldwide
In a constantly changing world, Forum students keep all study pathways open, regardless of their chosen country of study—whether through the Pancyprian Examinations, the school-leaving certificate, or external examinations (such as G.C.E. A Levels, IELTS, DELF, CILS)*.
The School’s combined educational model does not restrict future study options in advance, allowing students to pursue higher education in Cyprus, Greece, Europe, or anywhere else in the world.
* Preparation for external examinations is offered at no additional cost.
Excellent Command of English Certified by International Qualifications
