HISTORY
Ioannis and Iro Gregoriou founded the Grammar School in 1963 operating in privately owned premises on Gregoriou Hill near the Nicosia airport. During the Turkish invasion in 1974 the school was bombed and consequently occupied by the Turks. In 1981 the Grammar School moved to new privately owned premises in Anthoupolis. Premises include swimming pools, administration buildings, science laboratories, computer laboratories, Cafeteria, sports grounds and the STEM and technology innovation laboratories. The Grammar School entered into a collaboration with Microsoft and has established an IT Academy and is the first school in Cyprus to become a Microsoft Showcase School and a Microsoft Office Specialist Testing Centre. We implement Microsoft Office 365, a virtual workplace which allows students, teachers and parents to keep track of their lessons, assignments and school activities.
