kindergarten called
Nipiagogion at the age of 5
years. The curriculum in
kindergarten aims to prepare
students for the first grade
and the years to follow. At
the age of 6 years, students
enter the Demotikon or

grades 1 through 6.

register at the Gymnasion (or
Gymnasium), the junior high school. The
gymnasium has 3 grades (1 through 3)

6.  At the end of the gymnasium, students
have several options. They may
continue to the Lykeion (Lyceum), the
senior high school in order to acquire a
general and comprehensive education.
The Lykeion has 3 grades (1 through
3)
 Another option for the students after
the Gymnasion is to follow the cycle
of training in Technical-Vocational
Educational Institutes (EPAL).

7. Following this stage, students participate in
general pan-hellenic examinations in order to
attend Universities, Technological Educational
Institutions, Military Academies, Merchant
Marine Academies and other post-secondary
schools. Students from the EPAL participate in
exams for entrance to the Technological
Educational Institutions.
