St Catherine's British School teaches the British curriculum in north Athens and offers the IB Diploma in the sixth form.
British underneath, IB on top
For a family arriving from the UK this is the least disruptive shape: the primary and secondary years look like the system the children left, and the Diploma at sixteen widens the university options rather than narrowing them.
Campion offers the same choice at sixth form and is slightly closer; St Lawrence at Koropi runs Cambridge A Levels and is very much closer.
The honest note
Its natural catchment is the northern suburbs, and it is written into this list for completeness rather than as a realistic daily run from Vouliagmeni.
