Application Form FAQ: Academic
The students will be studying the IB curriculum enhanced with an intensive STEM course.
TLF Students will receive both IB diploma and a Cyprus High School Diploma (Apolytirion) after successfully completing the course.
It is not possible to fully combine both, as the academic workload is high and we expect the scholars to fully concentrate on their studies at the Island School. If obtaining a national diploma is required, the family may organise this independently. Any necessary trips home to take national exams will be discussed with the school administration on an individual basis.
Yes. Moreover, we will be encouraging students to participate in all sorts of entrepreneurship activities throughout their studies.
Yes, our students are participating in all kinds of competitions, both locally and internationally. This is not mandatory, but if a student is motivated and maintains good academic performance in the core program, participation in Olympiads is absolutely possible. If a student qualifies for the final stages of international competitions or Olympiads, the TLF office may cover the cost of airfare. These trips are coordinated on an individual basis.
Yes, we will have a certified career counsellor, who will be responsible for guiding all of the TLF students on their university applications, SAT and IELTS preparation and monitoring deadlines. Moreover, some of the top students might even receive an additional TLF scholarship to cover their university expenses*
