Falcon School Cyprus
The Falcon School Cyprus is an international school in Nicosia which follows an English-style curriculum, adapted to the Cyprus environment. Founded in 1976 and accredited by the Cyprus Ministry of Education, the School provides a continuous education for boys and girls from the age of 4 years until graduation at the age of 18. A full 15 years can be spent at the School, and "Falcon 15ers" receive an award at the end of their schooling. The School profile on its website describes its aims as promoting traditional values, while looking to the future. In recent years, an ambitious renovation project has been taking place, rewiring and networking the buildings, and upgrading facilities, such as the swimming pool, which is now run on solar energy. In addition to a complete refit of the pool, the gymnasium has been re-roofed and re-floored, and a new climate-control system has been installed. Examination successes are announced on the School's website, with pass rates comparing very favourably to other similar schools in Cyprus and in the UK. Students tend to choose UK universities as their ultimate destination, with Russell Group Universities a high priority. Students are mainly prepared for UK qualifications at IGCSE/GCSE, and
