Mandoulides Schools, or Mantoulidis Schools, is a private, coeducational institution in the Thessaloniki metropolitan area of Central Macedonia, Greece. Administratively within the boundaries of Thermi, south of Thessaloniki, the schools' two campuses are located outside urban structures near the A25 motorway. Mandoulides Schools offer schooling for students from Day Care through twelfth grade.

Evangelos Mandoulides, professor of Ancient and Modern Greek, founded Mandoulides Schools in 1978. The school started as a traditional K6 school. In 1991 Evangelos Mantoulides decided to expand the school by adding a new campus and providing education for grades 7 through 12. In 2002 the Kindergarten, Primary, Junior and Senior High School opened their new premises. In 2009 the Day Care Centre admitted its first students.

Mandoulides Schools now include a Day Care Center, a Kindergarten, a Primary, a Junior and a Senior High School (Gymnasium and Lyceum). The schools are situated on two separate campuses just outside Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece.

The school follows the standard curriculum prescribed by the Greek Ministry of Education, with additional hours in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Informatics, Economics, Modern Greek, Ancient Greek, Latin, English, French and German.

English as a foreign language is obligatory and is taught at all grades. A bilingual language curriculum is offered for English native speakers and for highly proficient second language speakers.

Either German or French is obligatory and taught at all grades as a second foreign language.
