About the fees The school is public; it does not state any tuition on its pages, including for the IB class.
Admissions As a model school, it selects students by entrance examinations; its exam report states "Οι μαθητές του Προτύπου Λυκείου Αναβρύτων επιλέγονται με εξετάσεις" (the students of the Anavryta Model Lyceum are selected by examinations). Applications are filed on the Ministry platform, and the number of places for each school is set by a decision of the administrative committee of model and experimental schools (ΔΕΠΠΣ). The available copies of the school's website say nothing on how students enter the IB class.
Stages and year groups Greek general lyceum with three grades (A, B, C), the Apolytirio school-leaving certificate and the Panhellenic exams. According to the Ministry (IEP), IB Diploma Programme classes in English for grades B and C open at the school from the 2026-2027 school year; in the 2025-2026 school year the school was an IB candidate; the Ministry treats the IB Diploma as equivalent to the Greek Apolytirio. The available copies of the school's website have no page on the IB class, its subjects or admission.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
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 →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
