British grammar school for Paphos?

A NEW British school could open in Paphos within the next two years, international commerce and legal solutions company KRK said yesterday.
In a press release, the Limassol-based company announced it had been commissioned by an international businessman to prepare a feasibility study for the opening of a British Preparatory and Grammar School in the Paphos area.
“It is the intention of our client to establish a non-profit making centre of academic excellence to serve the growing English-speaking population of school age in Paphos,” said KRK chairman Christos Kitsis. “The school will also serve to attract those parents who have chosen to live elsewhere on the island due to the lack of international-standard educational facilities in the area.”
The proposed school would offer state-of-the-art sports, IT and arts facilities, and will be staffed by British and American teachers, “providing the professionalism to meet the school’s objective of academic excellence.”
It is also intended that the school offer the International Baccalaureate (IB), for those pupils planning to attend universities outside the UK.
The school’s proposed opening date is September 2006, though temporary facilities will be acquired for the academic year starting September 2005 if demand is high.
Kitsis stressed that in order for the feasibility study to be completed successfully, KRK needed to assess how many potential students the school could attract. Parents wishing to register their interest in the project should do so as soon as possible by emailing [email protected], faxing 26 822 178 or telephoning on 26 822 177, providing details of the ages and number of children they would like to attend the school.
A final decision regarding the project will take place this September.
