Children of families living in Greece can attend free Greek public schools, private schools or English-speaking international schools. For registration, the child's identity and school documents usually need an apostille and an official Greek translation, plus health and vaccination certificates.
“Kleidi” helps you choose the right school, prepares and translates the documents and follows the registration with the school. For public schools we also look into Greek-language support classes for newly arrived pupils.
