St. Mary’s Junior School is a small branch of St. Mary’s School, which belongs to the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. The Sisters, who originally came from Italy and various parts of Europe and America, brought with them a rich legacy of faith and education. Over the years, the school has grown and flourished, with the primary mission of providing education to underprivileged children while instilling a deep love for God.
The Sisters arrived in Cyprus in 1923, with the aim of offering education to the island’s poor children. Their dedication and sacrifice for this mission in Cyprus have borne fruit, and today, we celebrate the legacy they have built. The English Junior School was established in the 1980s, and thanks to the selfless commitment of the Sisters, it has a rich history. The school has now reached the milestone of 100 years, with thousands of children passing through its doors, receiving an excellent education and building successful careers.
At the Junior School, we are dedicated to helping our students grow and learn. We focus on core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Religion, Greek, French, Science, Social Studies, Music, Computers and Physical Education. Our team of excellent teachers is committed to guiding each child towards achieving their goals.
The school also values its strong relationship with parents, who actively support the school through the Parents' Association and contribute to extra-curricular activities. We strive to create an environment where children can study freely and joyfully, which is what makes us unique.
Dear Students, Parents, and Friends of St. Mary’s School,
With joy and gratitude, I welcome you to the academic year 2026–2027. Each new year is a fresh beginning — a chance to grow in wisdom, kindness, and faith. To our returning students, we are proud to see you continue your journey with us. To our new students, especially our little ones joining us from kindergarten, we embrace you with open hearts.
St. Francis of Assisi reminds us, “Where there is love and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.” At St. Mary’s, we strive to build a community where love guides our actions, wisdom shapes our learning, and every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged.
We invite all students to approach each day with curiosity, respect, and a willingness to help one another. Wear your uniform with pride, speak with kindness, and let your behaviour reflect the values we cherish. Bullying and disrespect have no place here; compassion and understanding are our foundation.
May this year be filled with growth, joy, and meaningful achievements. Together, let us make St. Mary’s School a place where every child shines.
With blessings,
SR. ROLY THOMAS KAITHAKULATH, FMSC
Head of the Junior School
