A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: DP (ages 16-19). DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.

The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

What the badge means for this school. The school can run Pearson exams on its own premises. The status says nothing about teaching, about results or about the school itself: any school able to run an exam securely holds it. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which Pearson qualifications this school is approved for is not stated here.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →A Cypriot group of private schools, founded in 1978. It calls itself a group of private schools with campuses in Lefkosia, Larnaka and Lemesos and a family of day and boarding schools; it teaches from birth to 18. As of September 2026 there are four campuses, not three: in September 2025 a second Lemesos campus was added to the Lefkosia one, the Larnaka one and the main Lemesos one, in the centre of the city, kindergarten and primary school only, ages 3-12. The programmes are the same at the three older campuses: Cambridge Primary, IGCSE, GCE AS and A Level, the international A Level, the diploma programme of the International Baccalaureate and the Cypriot Apolytirion. It claims to be the only private provider of education in Cyprus with a six-year secondary school in English. It belongs to the international group Globeducate, and says so outright: "a proud member of Globeducate". The form of the connection with Globeducate, ownership or management, is not named on the site, nor is the number of pupils.
