The Falcon School offers education from primary to secondary level within a structured academic environment that emphasises discipline, community values and student engagement. Established in 1976, the school has developed a reputation for balancing academic expectations with a broad programme of extracurricular activities.
History and development
Founded by Mr and Mrs Ierides in 1976, the school was built on principles of inclusivity and community cohesion. From its inception, it has aimed to bring together students from diverse backgrounds within a shared educational environment.
Over the decades, the school has expanded its facilities and academic offering while maintaining a relatively contained student population, allowing it to preserve a strong sense of identity and community.
Academic structure and curriculum
The school delivers a comprehensive curriculum across primary and secondary levels, focusing on academic progression and preparation for higher education.
Class sizes are controlled, particularly in secondary education, where they are capped at 24 students. This allows for more structured teaching and closer monitoring of student performance.
The academic programme is designed to develop discipline, responsibility and independent learning, particularly in the transition from primary to secondary education.
Admissions process and fees
Admission to the school varies by level. Entry into secondary education requires participation in entrance examinations, typically conducted in the spring period.
Scholarships are available for students achieving high academic performance in entrance exams, with continuation dependent on maintaining strong results.
Annual tuition fees range from approximately €5,350 to €8,800.
Extracurricular activities and student engagement
Extracurricular activities are integrated into the daily schedule, with structured afternoon programmes for both primary and secondary students.
Activities include academic clubs such as debating and languages, as well as participation in international initiatives like Model United Nations and European Youth Parliament. Sports and creative activities are also widely available.
Facilities and infrastructure
The school offers a wide range of facilities, including science laboratories, libraries, theatre spaces and specialised rooms for arts and music.
Sports infrastructure is extensive, featuring a swimming pool, athletics track, multi-sport gymnasium and football pitch, supporting both recreational and competitive activities.
Student wellbeing and support
Student support is provided through a combination of academic assistance programmes, counselling services and specialised support for students with additional learning needs.
The school also maintains structured communication with parents through its parents’ association.
Key considerations for parents
The Falcon School is suited to families looking for a structured and disciplined academic environment with strong extracurricular engagement. Its emphasis on community and controlled class sizes may appeal to those seeking a more contained school setting.
