Saint Mary's School
SECONDARY
At St. Mary's High School and Lyceum, we adopt a dynamic educational approach that combines scientific knowledge with the development of linguistic and social skills. Through a holistic philosophy that extends beyond academic learning, we promote the cultivation of multicultural values, critical thinking, and personal growth, preparing our students for higher education and the global job market.
Our goal is to shape citizens who stand out not only for their knowledge but also for their integrity, empathy, and creativity, as well as their ability to contribute to society. Through school life, our students learn to appreciate diversity and champion the values of collaboration, justice, and mutual respect.
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Beloved Students,
Welcome to the brand-new website of Saint Mary’s School. Here you will find a lot of information that will increase as time goes on.
Our school in 2023 turned 100 years old. We had the joy of celebrating this beautiful anniversary.
Our school is located in the heart of Limassol and was founded by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart with the aim of promoting tradition and excellence.
At St. Mary's we maintain the following four levels of education:
-
Kindergarten
-
Primary (Greek and English)
-
Gymnasium (Greek and English)
-
Lyceum
The school has a strong reputation for teaching both languages and sciences, following a demanding curriculum.
It provides a school leaving certificate (Apolytirio) fully recognized and certified by the Ministry of Education and Culture for Cyprus. It also prepares students for Delf, Celi, and A-levels exams, thus opening the door to a large number of prestigious local and European universities.
Our objective is to shape students into hard-working and competent individuals, but also compassionate humans, following the principles of charity and wisdom, dear to the Franciscan spirit.
I hope this website will meet your expectations and give you a clear view of the benefits and advantages of studying at Saint Mary’s School.
Bonne navigation !

Our primary mission is to provide students with a strong academic foundation, capable of preparing them for studies at universities worldwide. At the same time, we cultivate moral values and social awareness, shaping them into responsible citizens and well-rounded individuals, ready to meet the demands of modern society.
At the heart of our philosophy lies the creation of an environment that promotes equality, regardless of origin, gender, age, or religious beliefs. We reinforce every student’s right to education and free expression, always with respect for the dignity and identity of their fellow human beings.
Through this balanced approach, we aim to prepare students not only for academic challenges but also for active participation in a multicultural society, where knowledge coexists with ethics, and personal growth aligns with social responsibility.
