Education in Greece

Most preschools, also known as pre-primary, are attached to and share buildings with a primary school. Preschool is compulsory and lasts 2 years, split into 1 year of Pre-kindergarten (Προνηπιαγωγείο) and 1 year of Kindergarten (Νηπιαγωγείο; Nipiagogeio).{{cite web|url=https://www.hellenicparliament.gr/UserFiles/bcc26661-143b-4f2d-8916-0e0e66ba4c50/i-uniwest-pap-olo.pdf#page=33|title=Law 4521/2018, Article 33(3), Government Gazette 38/A/2-3-2018|language=el|website=Hellenic Parliament}} Since the school year 2018–2019, children who would be four years of age by December 31 are required to begin attending preschool on September 11 of the same year.{{efn|If September 11 is a Saturday or Sunday, then the start date would be the following Monday.}} Applications for registration and enrolment are usually carried out annually during fifteen consecutive days in May. After this period expires, students are neither allowed to register nor enroll.

• 1st Year / Pre-Kindergarten ({{lang|el|Προνηπιαγωγείο}}), age 4 to 5 years old (with some 3-year-olds, about to turn 4, attending)Typical ages refer to the ages that normally correspond to the age at entry and ending of a cycle of education. These ages relate to the theoretical duration of a cycle assuming full-time attendance and no repetition of a year. The assumption is made that, at least in the ordinary education system, a student can proceed through the educational programme in a standard number of years, which is referred to as the theoretical duration of the programme.
• 2nd Year / Kindergarten ({{lang|el|Νηπιαγωγείο}}), age 5 to 6 (with some 4-year-olds, about to turn 5, attending)

In these school years, students are given descriptive assessments instead of number/letter grades.

Students begin taking English as part of their core curriculum in kindergarten. It has been scientifically proven that until the age of 11 it is more likely to successfully become proficient in a foreign language than any older age. This may be the reason many countries in the European Union begin learning a foreign language, specifically English, at the age of 5.{{cite web|url=https://psychagogein.gr/μαθησιακές-δυσκολίες/π-καταλληλη-ηλικια-για-αγγλικά/|url-status=live|title=What is the proper age for a child to start learning English language?|date=15 July 2019|website=Psychagogein|language=el|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230319210729/https://psychagogein.gr/μαθησιακές-δυσκολίες/π-καταλληλη-ηλικια-για-αγγλικά/|archive-date=19 March 2023}}
