The Model Upper Secondary School of Agioi Anargyroi in western Athens is a public lyceum for students aged 15-18 (grades A, B and C). It was founded in 1994 as an experimental lyceum and under laws of 2011 and 2020 became a model school, admitting students by examination and selecting teachers for five-year terms. It is state-funded through the municipality and scientifically supervised by a five-member board. From the 2026-2027 school year the lyceum runs the IB Diploma Programme: a separate two-year class in grades B and C alongside the regular Greek lyceum programme leading to the Apolytirio and the Panhellenic exams. The school writes that the Ministry is setting up the IB programme at the lyceum "δωρεάν, για όσους μαθητές το επιθυμούν" (free of charge, for all students who wish). Language of instruction: the Greek programme is taught in Greek, while in the IB "All subjects ..., except for Language A (Modern Greek Language and Literature), are taught and assessed in English, as English is the official language of instruction." The lyceum runs 14 clubs and has a psychologist and mental-health and careers programmes.

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 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.
