MoreThe school’s scholarship program ensures that worthy Greek and international students, regardless of financial circumstance, may enrol in the Anatolia & Pinewood IBDP, either as day students or in our long-standing boarding school.
When applying for entry to the IBDP, you simply declare your wish to participate in the IBDP scholarship exam by completing the corresponding section of the application. In the space provided, you should choose the type of scholarship that you wish to compete for and, if required, submit additional documents. Applying for an IBDP scholarship assumes that the student is able to participate in the scholarship exam in person. The scholarship exam is scheduled for Sunday April 21st.
Students who have demonstrated excellent academic performance in grades 9 and 10, satisfying one of the criteria listed below, are eligible to apply for a scholarship:
There may be some additional criteria regarding financial income, depending on the category they wish to be considered within (see below).
Anatolia students already on scholarship who meet the scholarship conditions DO NOT need to take part in the IBDP scholarship exams, because their scholarship percentage will automatically be transferred to the IB. They just need to inform the Scholarship and Enrollment Coordinator of their intention to continue their studies in the IBDP.
Students whose tuition is paid by a third party are eligible to take part in the exam and receive an honorary scholarship without tuition reduction.
Students who are currently attending either Anatolia or Pinewood as full pay students are only eligible for the merit-based scholarships.
The procedure involves an initial stage comprised of a written exam in both English (one-hour essay) and Mathematics (see here the prior learning requirements for the Mathematics examination). Those who achieve the best scores proceed to an interview with the Scholarship Committee. After the completion of this second stage, the Committee decides upon and announces the scholarships awarded, taking into consideration:
Students who succeed in the above mentioned stages, as well as their guardians, are asked to accept or turn down the scholarship within a few days after the announcement of the results.
The procedure is the same for all categories of scholarships.
Two kinds of scholarships are offered:
a) Scholarships that cover from 25% up to 100% of the annual tuition fees of the Program and are dependent upon both financial and academic criteria. More specifically:
The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to visit the place of residence of candidates applying for a scholarship from 75% up to 100%.
Those who are interested in applying for scholarship under this category must submit, along with the necessary entrance-application documents, the following:
b) Scholarships that cover the amount of 10% of the annual tuition fees of the Program and are not based on any financial need. These scholarships serve as an acknowledgement of the student’s academic achievements and abilities. Those who are interested in being considered for this award should simply state it on their entrance application to the Program. They do not need to submit any further documents.
Candidates must submit the necessary documents along with their application for enrolment to the program before the deadline, which is April 19th, 2024.
Scholarships are awarded initially for one year. They are renewed at the end of the first academic year only if the student has maintained the required grade average (36/42) and the financial status of the family has not changed.

MoreThe International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a two-year program that corresponds to the 11th and 12th grade Lykeion and prepares students for entry to the best universities all over the world. Students are able to enter the IB program upon completion of the 10th grade (1st grade Lykeion). The IB Diploma is also fully equivalent to the Greek high school diploma (Law 2327, 1995).
MoreWelcome to Anatolia, a welcoming, inclusive and vibrant international learning community!
Anatolia is a private nonprofit American educational institution. It is in many respects a remarkable and unique institution with a history extending over 130 years. Its integrated educational community features:
All of these divisions, centers and programs are offered among others on our beautiful forty-five acre campus on the road to the scenic suburb of Panorama above the metropolis of Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city.
Anatolia has been in existence since 1886. It has faced every type of adversity, endured three wars, been forced to change location three times, including a move from Asia Minor to Greece in 1924. The school has overcome all of these setbacks to emerge as a strong and vibrant international center of learning preparing young men and women for the challenges of the 21st century. Anatolia is currently the home to approximately 4500 students. It not only provides to students a strong foundation for the academic and professional world but also prepares them for global citizenship.
Together with the Board of Trustees, the students, faculty, staff and alumni of Anatolia, I take great pride in welcoming you to our academic community, and I invite you to learn more about the ways and means through which you might also become a part of the Anatolia legacy.

The major activity of the Anatolia Language Testing Office is centered around promoting and administering Michigan State University's MSU-CELC and MSU-CELP English language examinations in Northern Greece.
The office is also responsible for administering a number of standardized university entrance examinations in Northern Greece, including the following:
The Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test is held once a year in the third week of October primarily for Anatolia College students. Students from other schools in the region may apply to take this test if they declare their interest in early September and if there are sufficient examination materials available. The test is designed to give prospective candidates for U.S. universities an idea of their state of preparedness in relation to the Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Tests), which are required for entry to U.S. universities and which may be taken in their junior and senior years at school.
The Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT, SAT with essay and SAT Subject Tests) are administered at Anatolia College five times a year in October, November, December, January and May. The SAT Subject Test (Language Tests with Listening) is administered only once a year in November. Students who intend applying for admission to U.S. universities are usually required to take these exams. For more details, visit: www.ets.org
The Anatolia Language Testing Office administers examinations on behalf of other examination boards, educational institutions or professional bodies when requested and subsequently authorized to do so.
