Greek school, international exit
That combination is the reason a relocating family looks here rather than only at the international schools. The children are educated in Greek, in Greece, among Greek children — and the Diploma at the end is read by every university that matters.
It is the closest thing on this list to having both, and it is worth weighing against the wholly international route rather than assuming they are the same decision.
The comparison a Greek family will make for you, unprompted, is with Athens College. The two are the reference points; the difference is temperament rather than quality.
