JUNIOR SCHOOL

Welcome

This is intended to give you only a brief introduction to the Grammar School Junior. It is recommended that parents not only come see the premises but also to arrange a meeting with us to discuss all matters pertaining to private education and our school in particular. This ensures that the right decision concerning your child’s education is made. Since it was founded in Limassol in 1975, The Grammar School Junior provides its students with an all-round education and lays down the foundations to help children develop mentally, emotionally as well as physically. The overall aim of the school is to provide a general education so that our students can be eligible to enter any Secondary school, not only in Cyprus, but abroad as well. The teachers maintain a close and friendly relationship with the pupils and each child is treated with respect. Able and experienced teachers, small classes and well-equipped classrooms provide the appropriate learning conditions.

Admissions

In order to enter our Reception class, the child’s name must be entered on to our waiting list as early as possible.
An interview with the parents is strongly recommended. However, it must be made very clear that simply putting your child’s name on the waiting list does not ensure enrolment. Priority is given to families that already have other siblings attending either The Grammar School or Junior. Further priority is given to parents who are alumni of the school.
When entering the school from Class 2-6, a Placement Test is required in Mathematics, English and Greek to ensure that the student is up to standard with other children their age.

School Facilities

Computer Lab: The Lab is fully equipped with multimedia computers which are regularly replaced or updated to keep the students up to date with technological advances. The students have access during their Computer lesson or in order to enhance other parts of the curriculum. The students are supervised when using the internet and software ensures that they are unable to access inappropriate sites.

School Hall: The school has a large hall that can seat 250 people used for assemblies, seminars, conferences as well as afternoon activities such as dance and karate.

Library: The school has a library with a wide range of books both in English and Greek.

Sports Hall: The school has a semi-closed sports hall where the Physical Education lessons takes place as well as afternoon activities such as Basketball and Volleyball are played.

Canteen: The school operates a canteen offering an array of healthy snacks and drinks that serve the children during the two breaks. The younger children (5-8 years old) have separate access to the canteen so that they all have the opportunity to get something to eat/drink.

Curriculum

In Reception, Classes 1 and 2, emphasis is on basic numeracy and literacy to ensure that the children have a solid foundation before expanding the curriculum. Subjects such as Art, Music and Physical Education help the students grow emotionally, socially as well as physically. From Classes 3-6 the curriculum is expanded to include Science, Geography, History, and Computers. From Class 3 onwards, students must take class tests in their subjects and results are part of their school report grades.

Greek: Although Greek is taught in the school as a second language, we follow the curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education using the same books used by the public Greek schools. The students are expected to learn reading, writing, comprehension, grammar and History as all part of the curriculum. Greek in introduced from Reception Class and is compulsory for all students whose parents are of Greek origin. For students whose parents are not Greek, or for students not raised in Cyprus, Greek is also offered at a lower level. The teachers will recommend which students are eligible to attend these classes.

Academic Progress

The school organizes two Parent-Teachers meetings, once during the autumn term and once during the spring usually approximately half way through the term. These meetings give the parents the opportunity to see how their child is progressing. School reports are given three times per academic year at the end of each term. Parents are always welcome to the school on any given day to discuss academic matters with teachers provided an appointment has been made which is convenient for the teacher.

Activities

Assemblies: The school attempts to organize assemblies once a month for the duration of the school year. There are various themes to these assemblies, ranging from informative/celebratory on national and/or religious holidays or other educational topics. The assemblies take place in the school hall.

Shows: The school believes that theatrical performances are very educational and give every student the opportunity to excel at something other than academics. Theatrical performances take place at Christmas, in the Spring and other specified times of the year. Also Greek plays are performed and usually the school choir participates in all theatrical performances.

Art Exhibition: In the last few years in recognition of the immense talent that we possess in art, a art exhibition is held to honor the founders of the school. The school will sometimes choose the best works of art to be published as Christmas cards or calendars.

Sports: The school also recognizes that sports is an intricate part of education and students are given the opportunity to show off their skills in mini-football and bowling tournaments as well as an annual Sports Day.

School Trips: The school offers 2 class trips (in fall and in spring) to all students of the school which combine educational and fun activities. However, teachers are strongly encouraged to take their students on educational excursions in or around Limassol more regularly.

Clubs: Extra curricular activities are an important part of the day. The school usually offers various types of dance lessons, Karate, Basketball and Volleyball on the premises of the school. Other clubs such as the Green Club and the Choir are also an option.
