Discover what it means to learn, collaborate and grow in a leading international school.
At IMS Private School, Erasmus+ School Mobility is more than a school visit. It is an opportunity for students to become active members of our learning community, participate in everyday school life and develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to thrive in an international environment.
Supported by accommodation at KLEOS and local participant services provided by ShipCon, every programme combines high-quality education with cultural immersion, personal development and unforgettable experiences.
Welcome to IMS Private School
IMS Private School is a vibrant international learning community where students from different nationalities learn together in an inclusive, innovative and inspiring educational environment.
Our Erasmus+ School Mobility Programmes are designed to give visiting students an authentic insight into international education while encouraging intercultural understanding, collaboration and active participation.
Rather than observing from the outside, students become part of everyday school life by participating in selected educational activities alongside IMS students and teachers.
The result is a meaningful learning experience that develops not only academic knowledge but also communication skills, confidence, independence and European citizenship.
Why Choose IMS?
- Authentic International School Experience
IMS Private School offers a truly distinctive educational experience, combining academic excellence with an innovative, student-centred approach that prepares young people for success in an increasingly globalised world. Recognised by the Cyprus Ministry of Education, IMS has developed a modern learning environment that encourages students to think independently, collaborate effectively and achieve their full potential.
Unlike traditional school visits, Erasmus+ participants become part of a dynamic international learning community where English is the language of communication and learning extends far beyond the classroom. Students actively participate in lessons, collaborate with their IMS peers, engage in project-based learning and experience everyday life in a contemporary international school.
IMS places particular emphasis on developing the skills that matter most for the future: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, digital literacy and responsible global citizenship. Teachers encourage inquiry, active participation and independent learning, creating an environment where every student is challenged to explore new ideas, build confidence and develop as a lifelong learner.
The school also offers modern educational facilities, including dedicated science and computer laboratories, technology-enhanced classrooms, collaborative learning spaces and a fully equipped lecture theatre, providing an inspiring environment for both everyday learning and international mobility activities.
For Erasmus+ participants, this means much more than spending a week in another country. It means experiencing authentic international education, learning alongside IMS students, building lasting international friendships and returning home with new perspectives, greater confidence and memories that will remain long after the mobility has ended.
- Meaningful Learning
Every programme is designed to provide an engaging and meaningful learning experience through active participation in everyday school life. Students learn alongside their IMS peers by taking part in classroom activities, collaborative projects, discussions, presentations and interdisciplinary learning experiences. Through observation, interaction, teamwork and guided reflection, participants develop new knowledge, strengthen key competences and gain the confidence to apply their learning in real-life and international contexts. Every activity encourages curiosity, critical thinking, creativity and personal growth while fostering intercultural understanding and lifelong learning.
- International Community
Students become part of a vibrant international learning community where they interact daily with peers from diverse cultural, linguistic and educational backgrounds. Through shared classroom experiences, collaborative projects and informal social interactions, participants develop intercultural awareness, mutual respect and empathy while strengthening their communication skills and confidence in an international environment. These authentic connections encourage students to appreciate different perspectives, build lasting international friendships and develop the global mindset needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
- Safe and Supportive Environment
The well-being of every participant is at the heart of the mobility experience. IMS provides a welcoming, inclusive and supportive school environment where visiting students quickly feel part of the community. Combined with comfortable accommodation at KLEOS and comprehensive local participant support provided by ShipCon, every aspect of the mobility is carefully organised to ensure students feel safe, supported and confident throughout their stay. From arrival to departure, schools can be assured that both educational and practical needs are managed professionally, allowing participants to focus fully on learning, personal development and enjoying their Erasmus+ experience.
- Our Educational Philosophy
Education should inspire curiosity, encourage collaboration and prepare young people to become responsible global citizens.
At IMS Private School, learning is an active process where students are encouraged to ask questions, exchange ideas, solve problems and work together.
Our Erasmus+ School Mobility Programmes reflect this philosophy by combining academic learning with intercultural experiences that promote inclusion, creativity, communication and lifelong learning.
Every activity is designed to help students broaden their perspectives, develop essential competences and gain confidence through authentic participation in school life.
- Choose Your Learning Pathway
Every visiting school may select one of four educational pathways according to its educational priorities and learning objectives.
Although each pathway has its own thematic focus, all programmes share the same educational philosophy, combining classroom participation, collaborative learning, project work and intercultural exchange within the IMS learning community.

1. Global Citizens – International Education & Global Citizenship

Learning Beyond the Classroom
Learning continues long after the school day has ended.
Throughout the mobility, students participate in cultural experiences, social activities and informal learning opportunities that strengthen friendships, encourage communication and help them develop greater independence and self-confidence.
These shared experiences often become some of the most memorable moments of the entire Erasmus+ journey.
Life at KLEOS
KLEOS is more than a place to stay—it is an integral part of the Erasmus+ experience. Designed specifically to host international mobility participants, it provides a welcoming, safe and comfortable environment where students can relax, socialise and continue learning beyond the classroom. Living together with fellow participants encourages cultural exchange, teamwork and the development of meaningful international friendships. Whether sharing meals, participating in informal evening activities or simply spending time together, students continue to practise English, exchange ideas and gain valuable intercultural experiences that enrich both their personal development and their overall mobility journey.
Discover Cyprus
Cyprus provides an inspiring setting for an enriching Erasmus+ School Mobility experience. As a crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, the island offers a unique blend of cultures, traditions and historical influences that enrich students’ understanding of history, identity and cultural diversity. Beyond the classroom, educational visits and cultural experiences enable participants to connect their learning with real-world contexts, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking and a deeper appreciation of Europe’s shared heritage. From exploring archaeological sites and museums to experiencing local traditions and Mediterranean culture, students gain valuable insights that complement their learning at IMS and create memories that last a lifetime.
