In primary school, we "build" solid foundations for the children's school progress. From the first grade we cultivate the love for knowledge and provide all the stimuli needed for the complete development of their personality.
Monday to Friday 7:00-16:15
The transportation of students to and from school is done with absolute safety with our school buses.
Proper, varied and balanced diet helps the development and health of children, who develop their eating habits from an early age. For elementary school students there is an optional feeding program with breakfast and lunch, which is determined on a monthly basis by a dietitian and includes full meals, rich in vitamins and minerals. Food is cooked and served in the school restaurant at a specific time each day.
All the courses provided by the Curriculum of the Ministry of Education for the Primary School, are taught in a modern way and enriched with the new methods of Pedagogy but also with the modern means of technology in order to meet the modern requirements of the future society. The main courses (language, mathematics, English, etc.) are taught with increased schedule compared to the planned program, for better learning and more solid consolidation.
Digital skills are one of the most important human resources of the 21st century. In our school, new technologies are at the forefront of curricula at all levels through a comprehensive plan for teaching of STEM. In the computer and classrooms, which are equipped with modern technology, primary school children practice with innovative tools that make learning a pleasant process. In the first grades of elementary school, students first come into contact with robots and programming through Lego Education WeDo 2.0, while in the fifth and sixth grades they learn to program with the help of Scratch software created at MIT.
English is taught intensively (four hours per week). The program aims at the good learning and use, written and oral, of English, laying the foundations for obtaining a language proficiency certificate. At the same time, in the last two grades of primary school, the teaching of a second foreign language of the students' choice (German or French) begins.
Great importance is given to the physical exercise and sports that take place on the premises of our school. The physical education course in primary school aims to improve and develop:
In the music lesson, a special teaching program is followed from the 1st grade, while from the 2nd grade, the teaching with flute and other musical instruments is added. Children have the opportunity to participate in the orchestra, the school choir and other artistic activities.
Teachers gradually introduce the child to the field of Fine Arts through the independent engagement with various methods of artistic expression following the pedagogical approach "Artful Thinking" of Harvard University.
Educational trips aim to better understand the topics taught in the classroom and are a unique learning experience. Through visits to places of historical, cultural, scientific and environmental interest, children have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in a pleasant and genuinely entertaining way.
Every day after the end of the morning program students have the opportunity to stay at the school where there are optional study departments, as well as other activities such as chess, robotics, pancratium, swimming.
Hours: 14:30-16:30
The children fully prepare for the next day's lessons, while through the remedial teaching they fill in any gaps and enrich their knowledge. With the guidance of teachers they learn to read methodically and effectively and without pressure they become more disciplined and responsible in their study. At the same time, they get rid of the need to read at home, gaining more free time with their parents.
In collaboration with the swimming department of the Gymnastic Athletic Association "Archelaos", swimming lessons are held every week in the 2nd GDR, where the children are trained by specialized swimming teachers accompanied by the coach and teachers of our school. Thus, children are given the opportunity to come into contact with water from an early age and become familiar with it, reaping all the psychosomatic benefits of swimming.
Robotics is a new way of teaching, ideal for increasing children's interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It is a fun way of learning, in which children work in groups to find creative solutions to a problem by building, programming and testing their own robots. Depending on the age of the students, the Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 educational robotics packages are used.
The operation of the school continues during the summer months with the summer program of creative employment for primary school students. Children spend their free time in the summer participating in enjoyable learning and entertainment activities.
Ages: 5-12 years old
Days and hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30-14:00
