The International School of Athens is at Kifissia and is the only IB Continuum World School in the city, running the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes from early years to university entrance.
What continuum actually means
The IB is a way of working as much as a syllabus — inquiry, extended writing, a required spread of subjects. A school that runs it from the start teaches that method for a decade before the Diploma arrives.
Elsewhere the Diploma is bolted on at sixteen over a British or Greek foundation. That is a perfectly good arrangement and it is a different one.
And the distance is decisive
Nearly thirty kilometres from Vouliagmeni. A household that chooses this school is, in practice, choosing to live in the northern suburbs — which is a different bet from any of the four addresses on this coast, and worth naming as such before a house is bought.
