Highgate was founded in 1991. We are located in a green and quiet area, ten minutes outside the main city of Nicosia, in Cyprus. In this safe and beautiful surroundings we cater for children from the age of two all the way to eighteen. Our children come from many countries, giving the school a cultural mix which reflects the world in which we live. Its vision is that every member of the school community must have the opportunity to learn, to acknowledge, understand and celebrate their own and other’s abilities, cultural religions and traditions. We encourage respect and tolerance of all cultures, and promote an awareness and acceptance of commonality and diversity within our school. The curriculum reflects the cultural diversity to which pupils belong and of which they will become adult members. It is our priority that all pupils are given the opportunity to recognize the equality, worth and dignity of people from their own and other cultures through a broad and balanced curriculum. We endeavour to foster a sensitive, informed attitude amongst our pupils, creating a caring atmosphere in which diversity and commonality of cultural beliefs, traditions and values are explored. We believe that an intercultural education is valuable to all children in equipping them to participate in an increasingly diverse society. The last five years, we participated in one Comenius project, three Erasmus+ KA2 projects and one Erasmus+ KA1 project, where we had the opportunity to meet and work with teachers and students from many different European countries as Spain, Turkey, Romania, England, Estonia, Germany, France, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Bulgaria, Latvia and Poland.
