The Greek state schools in Düsseldorf are the primary school Dimotiko Scholeio Düsseldorf and the combined lower and upper secondary school Gymnasio-Lykeio Düsseldorf. They are on the Greek Ministry of Education's list of Greek-language schools abroad in the formal education system and follow the Greek state curriculum; the upper level, the lyceum, leads to the Greek lyceum leaving certificate (Apolytirio Lykeiou). The language of instruction is Greek. Both schools are at Heerdter Sandberg 12 and are recognised by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia as Ergänzungsschulen. The schools' own pages are closed to automated reading, so the card has no details on admission, teachers, clubs or results. The schools do not publicly list German or other foreign languages taught as subjects.

About the fees Tuition is free: these are state schools maintained by the Greek Republic through the Greek Ministry of Education. The ministry lists show no tuition charges.
Stages and year groups Grades 1-12. Three levels of the Greek system: Dimotiko (primary school, grades 1-6), Gymnasio (lower secondary, grades 7-9) and Lykeio (lyceum, grades 10-12), leading to the Greek lyceum leaving certificate (Apolytirio). The Gymnasio and Lykeio are combined in one school. The NRW school ministry list gives the educational goal as Apolitirion, the lower and upper secondary leaving certificate.
Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
YPAITHAGreece's education ministry lists the schools among Greek-language schools abroad within the formal education system (Law 4415/2016): the curriculum and leaving certificate are Greek, and Greece funds the schools.

YPAITHAGreece's Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports (YPAITHA)
A Greek school abroad: the Greek curriculum taught in Greek, and the school belongs to the formal Greek education system under the ministry's supervision. Every such school is named on the list of Greece's education ministry.
What the badge means for this school. This is a Greek school abroad, and that can be checked on the list of Greece's education ministry. The entry is not a quality inspection: a school is on the list as part of the Greek education system, not as the outcome of an assessment. The curriculum and the certificate are Greek. Whom the school admits and what it charges are on its own website. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

The Greek school curriculum taught in Greek, with Greek qualifications: the gymnasium certificate and the lyceum certificate.
What this means for this school. The curriculum is set by Greece's education ministry, which also names the school on its list of Greek-language schools abroad that belong to the formal Greek education system. A lyceum leaver receives the Greek school-leaving certificate used for entry to Greek universities; for children of Greeks living abroad Greece has a separate quota in the university entrance examinations.

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 8 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.
