This stage comprises of the first three years of secondary schooling normally known as Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 (in the UK referred to as Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9), when students are aged between 11 and 14.

In Class 3, when students choose their subject options for the following year, every effort is made to offer as broad a range of subjects as possible from the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 curriculum, and students are guided by the school counsellor and careers advisor to make informed and balanced choices.

 

These two years (Class 4, Class 5) offer a programme of courses that prepare students for the International GCSE and GCSE examinations. Every student must take English Language and Mathematics PE as well as Greek/GR. A further four optional subjects are chosen from a broad list which currently includes Art, Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Drama, Economics, Business, English Literature, French, ICT, History, Music, Physical Education, Physics, Russian, Italian, Psychology and 3D Design & Graphics.
