The Moraitis School (Σχολή Μωραΐτη) is a private all-through school in Palaio Psychiko, from nursery to the last grade of lyceum. Its history begins in 1936 with the school "Protypon Lykeion Athinon" founded by the mathematician Karolos Berzan; in 1952 the licence passed to the philologist Antonis Moraitis and the school moved to Psychiko. The school has worked with the IB since 1985, its first IB Diploma students arrived in 1992, and it calls itself "Το πρώτο ελληνικό IΒ σχολείο στην Ελλάδα". Since 2014 it has a nursery and admits children from age three. The core curriculum is the Greek state one, in Greek. The IB Diploma Programme is a separate class in grades 11-12 next to the Greek lyceum: after the first grade of lyceum a student continues either in the General Lyceum preparing for the Panhellenic exams or in the IB. Students from other schools can join a preparatory Pre IB class (first grade of lyceum). IB DP subjects are taught in English: English is offered as Language B, while the group 1 language is Modern Greek literature, for which graduates receive a "Bilingual Diploma"; applicants need at least a First Certificate in English and an essay in English. Foreign languages: English, French, German, Spanish. The school belongs to the Inspired Education group.

About the fees The school does not publish tuition on its site; the scholarships page notes that entrance exams are taken both by fee-paying and scholarship applicants.
Admissions Nursery, first kindergarten year and grade one admit children by readiness for school, after meetings of parents and children with the school psychologists; siblings at the school, alumni parents and the application date are taken into account. Other primary grades admit when places are free, by written and oral exams and an interview, requiring English, and for grades five and six also French, German or Spanish. Gymnasium and the first two grades of lyceum admit by exams and previous grades, with English and French plus German or Spanish. IB applications are filed during the first grade of lyceum; the gymnasium certificate grades and first-semester lyceum grades count, there is an interview in April, at least the Cambridge First Certificate in English and an essay in English are required. Pre IB (first grade of lyceum) is open "αποκλειστικά σε μαθητές άλλων σχολείων, εκτός της Σχολής Μωραΐτη". The school does not address foreign nationals separately.

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.
Inspiredschool network
Inspired Education Group is a private school group founded in 2013. The group gives different figures on its own pages - 125 schools on some, "more than 100" on others - and we quote both: choosing for a group which of its own numbers is correct is not something we do. Its schools are in Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and some of them keep their own historic names, such as King's College in Madrid and Riga. The group's site is inspirededu.com.
What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.

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.
