Thessaloniki's provision is smaller and more curriculum-diverse than Athens. Families relocating from the UK, the US, Germany or France will find schools following their home-country pathway, alongside IB options.
Fee figures below are the published ranges held in the ESG dataset. Ranges usually span the youngest to the oldest year group and typically exclude registration, transport, lunches, uniform and examination fees. Confirm current figures with each school before budgeting.
If your family expects to move again, a curriculum that transfers internationally — IB, the English National Curriculum or an American college-preparatory programme — reduces disruption. If you are staying long term in Greece, Greek-language or bilingual pathways may matter more.
Check that a school covers every stage your children will need. Some Thessaloniki schools run from early years through to age 18; others begin at primary or start at secondary level.
Thessaloniki has English-medium, German-medium, French-medium and Greek-medium options. Confirm the main teaching language and what additional language support is available for new arrivals.
Several schools sit in the suburbs east and south-east of the city centre rather than in the centre itself. Check bus routes and journey times against where you plan to live.
Compare published ranges alongside one-off registration charges, transport and other extras, and ask whether sibling or corporate reductions apply.
ExpatSchoolGuide is a research and comparison directory, not an editorial ranking. Schools appear here because they meet the ESG directory data criteria for Thessaloniki, and the order shown is not a judgement of quality. Curricula, age ranges and fees come from each school's own published information; where a figure is not published we say so rather than estimating it. Inclusion is never affected by payment.
