Our school was built in 1971 and it was the third lyceum in Limassol.  It was named after the district which is called Agios Ioannis (Saint John) , because of the church near by. After the tragic events of the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the displace of thousands of people in Limassol, the school was divided into two sections because of the high amount of students. The first part were the students that were attending school in the morning time and the second part in the night time. In addition, the school had the highest number of students in the whole country.
The Saint John’s High School is located in the city of Limassol, which is located south of Cyprus. The school is located in St. John’s region of Limassol, an area with residents of low income criteria. Limassol is a relatively large city in Cyprus with a population of about 200,000 inhabitants. We have many students of low income criteria. Through our efforts in high school trying to encourage these students and educate them to have a good academic career. We have been providing education to the students from the age of 15 to 18 for three years. Our school is a public organization and it is funded publicly. We have about 500 students from different backgrounds and 90 teachers approximately who are not working all the time in our school and four other staffs. As a school our main aim is to prepare our students to university to get a professional academic career. We teach a lot of languages as foreign language (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and Turkish).
