Children start nursery school from the age of four and there are also private nurseries which take young babies and children up to five. This is followed by junior school, 'Dimotiko', starting at age six, then high school, which is in two parts, 'Gymnasio' and 'Lykeio'. There are various choices for further education after graduation from Lykeio.
To register your child at a Greek 'Dimotiko' school or nursery, go along to the nearest school. You usually need to show a phone or electricity bill, or some other document with your local address on it to prove that you are living in the area.

I was considering home educating my boy."
