The Island Today
The Island Private School of Limassol is a progressive, full-day international institution (8:00–18:00) that uniquely integrates three globally renowned educational frameworks - the International Baccalaureate (IB), Waldorf, and Montessori - into a single, unified community. As the only IB Continuum school in Cyprus, we provide a seamless academic journey from Early Years through to graduation (PYP, MYP, DP, and CP), supported by a distinguished international teaching team.
Our commitment to high academic standards is further reflected in our flagship programmes, including a dedicated focus on Entrepreneurship & Technology (E&T) and our unique scholarship programme (TLF). This scholarship is designed for highly motivated students, blending the rigorous IB curriculum with advanced STEM education to prepare the next generation of innovators. Additionally, as a BSA affiliate member, we offer leading boarding education in Limassol, ensuring a supportive and comprehensive environment for students from around the world.

Our Friends & Partners
LOVE
- We show kindness and compassion by supporting others through our words and actions.
- We use encouraging, inclusive language.
- We avoid teasing, exclusion, or hurtful online behaviour. (verbal/cyber bullying is not acceptable in our school)
COLLABORATION
- We work together by listening, sharing ideas, and contributing fairly.
- When working in groups, we collaborate well and listen to each other.
- Hoodies should not be worn over the head during lessons, as this prevents teachers from seeing whether students are using earphones or listening to music.
- Smart phones and other devices must not be used during class time, as they can significantly disrupt learning for both the student and their peers (this is the law in Cyprus).
POSITIVITY
- We approach challenges with optimism and a willingness to improve.
- We respond to feedback with effort and resilience.
- Chewing gum is not permitted during lessons as it can lead to distracting behaviour and it can damage the classroom.
INTEGRITY
- We act with honesty and do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
- Smartphones and earphones are not used during class time as they distract learning and break trust.

RESPONSIBILITY
- We take ownership of our actions, our learning, and our environment.

- When eating indoors during wet‑weather days, students clean their desks and the floor, so the next class enters a clean space.

LIFELONG LEARNING
- We stay curious, reflective, and committed to improving every day.
- Students engage fully in discussions, activities, and independent tasks.
- Students are expected to complete all homework and tasks on a timely manner.
SAFETY
