In recent years, language schools in Cyprus have become increasingly popular. The combination of a warm mild climate, low tuition fees and a large selection of entertainment attracts tourists from all over the world.
All language schools and centres in Cyprus can be divided into two categories:
- English language schools;
- multilingual (in addition to English, there are programs for learning other languages).
There are incomparably more schools of the first category. And this is understandable: Cyprus until 1960 was a British colony, and now English on the island is recognized as the state language on a par with Greek and Turkish. English is used everywhere: in business, tourism, education. The peculiarities of the local pronunciation include its strong similarity with the British.

The best English schools in Cyprus for international students
The advantage of learning English in Cyprus is that at a cost lower than in Europe, the quality of education is very high. In addition, students have many opportunities for language practice: each resident of the island is fluent in English. English schools in Cyprus are concentrated in tourist areas in the cities of Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca. The best of them are:
- The English Learning Center in Limassol;
- English in Cyprus (Limassol);
- Oscars International (Limassol);
- PASCAL English Schools (Nicosia, Lemesos, Larnaca).
Foreign students with any level of knowledge are accepted. There are separate courses for children of primary and school age, as well as programs for the elderly ones. This approach makes the learning process more comfortable. As a rule, the set of programs for all schools is approximately the same:
- general English
- exam preparation;
- business;
- individual courses;
- family courses;
- program for younger students.
In addition to the usual courses, there are some special offers. Thus, the David Green Institute of English is ready to conduct courses at a hotel with students. Of course, with at least a small group. There are also highly specialized programs: for workers in the oil and gas industry, for holding international conferences and correspondence, for doctors. In addition to English classes, some schools offer additional education. For example, in Pascal's school, along with an English course, you can learn diving and get the appropriate certificate.
What are the most important factors parents should consider when choosing a school?
That the school views their students as individuals instead of cash flow. Unfortunately, there are institutions whose main priority is to sell their programs and lose sight that this is a big step for the students and their families. Embarking on a new journey in a new country can be frightening, so having the support of the staff members and students will be vital to a successful studying-abroad experience.

The minimum duration of study in any of the language schools is 2 weeks. Most of them make a schedule based on the wishes of the student, but not less than 15 hours a week. The cost depends on the type of program and the availability of additional services. Seasons also play a large role: the lowest prices for language courses are from autumn to spring. The difference in tuition fees during the tourist period and winter reaches 30%.
On average, a week with a 15-hour load for a foreign student will cost from 200 €. It does not include accommodation, meals and additional classes. The price also depends on the duration: long courses will cost much cheaper.
Additional costs per week:
- Food (approximately 100-120 € per person);
- Accommodation (hotel from 900 €, residence at school - from 150 €);
- Internet;
- Stationery, textbooks (if necessary);
- Medical insurance (about 100 €);
- Transfer;
- Entertainment.
For admission to language schools for any of the courses you will need to provide a minimum package of documents and pass testing to determine the level of knowledge.
A visa to Cyprus is issued in a simplified way (filling out an application through the website, 90 days), but some schools are ready to provide assistance. The holder of a Schengen visa will not be required to additionally draw up anything.
Language schools in Cyprus are a harmonious combination of price and quality, the perfect balance between leisure and study.
