History of the School: The Grammar School was founded in 1963 by the late Ioannis and Iro Gregoriou, following the successful establishment of Cyprus College in 1961 (European University Cyprus as of 2008) In 1970 The Grammar Junior School was established to ensure the same high standards were embraced at all education levels.
The extensive experience Ioannis Gregoriou acquired in education began in 1952. Over the years he honed his academic vision and expertise, resulting in his unique insight into the requirements of Cypriot students. This strongfoundation, together with his in-depth knowledge of the field of education inspired him to devote his life to developingsound principles of democracy and discipline. As a result he made a highly significant contribution to raising the standards of education in Cyprus. Iro Gregoriou worked closely with her husband throughout the years. She provided her invaluable knowledge both as a teacher and as his assistant in running the school. After his death in 1984, she worked tirelessly to uphold these principles. She passed away in 1991 and since then Mr Akis Gregoriou and Mrs Sylvana Eleftheriadou have continued their parents´ legacy.
The traditions introduced by our founders remain inspirational and influential in today´s competitive and challenging educational environment and are an integral part of the philosophy of our Schools.

History of the School:Our school is situated in a really beautiful rural place. The school has three buildings: Pre-Primary, Primary (children aged 7-11) and Basic (children aged 11-16). Currently there are 120 pupils with different needs, such as, sport, arts, music, maths and languages. Our school is declared the educational institution in the district that organises the biggest number such type of activities. There are also some pupils with special needs. The staff of this school is qualified enough, there are 22 teachers, 4 of them have methodologist degree. The school collaborates with other educational institutions. Different means of collaboration are carried out: common projects and events, conferences and methodological meetings. Despite all the advantages there are some disadvantages. There is a number of pupils who are from socially supported families. A social worker try to make students to take part in different projects in order they can become full-fledged members of a society. Students take part in social and charitable activities: visit lonely old people, bring their own made cakes, clean surroundings. Tolerance is very important in our school life. The attitude towards personality helps to avoid conflicts. Every year we organise „Tolerance day festival“ that is to commemorate the day of AIDS. It is the first time our school tries to participate in a Comenius project. We think it would be useful for students to get acquainted with the culture of other countries, to communicate and collaborate, improve language skills and motivate the tolerance.

History of the School: The Secondary School of Commerce in Lysa nad Labem is a state school. The study is 4 years long finished with the school leaving exam. There are two major branches of study - Business Academy (more orientated in economy and business) and Economic lycée (more concentrated on general studies, economy and preparing the students for future studies). Our students have the possibility to attend various excursions, such as to the Parliament of the Czech Republic, to the Court, to many companies, the Czech National Bank etc. Students can also use the foreign language they are learning in real life situations in a wide range of international activities of the school. Since 2003 we have co-operated with secondary schools in Germany, France, Great Britain and Slovakia. Thanks to this project our students will have a possibility to know other countries. Students of foreign nationalities studying at our school will be also integrated in this project. Having experience of last years (see below) we believe in playing an important role in reaching the aims of this project.
