A new chapter in Limassol educational excellence

The inclusion of PASCAL Private Secondary School Lemesos in the global IB World Schools network marks a significant step forward for academic provision in the city of Limassol. The IB Diploma Programme, which will be delivered as part of the school’s pioneering six-year secondary curriculum, empowers students to develop critical thinking, global-mindedness, and personal resilience – key attributes for success in an ever-evolving world.
