Who We Are

ur English school has been running since 1992 and it is located at the foot of Mount Pelion in front of a square, a few kilometers from the center of Volos. In 2010 it was completely renovated through personal and ESPA funding and it boasts a pleasant and family atmosphere, a student friendly environment conducive to learning, technology assisted learning through our interactive boards and a program that caters to our students’ needs. Having a passion for what we do and promoting positive values are an essential part of who we are and the reason our clients choose our school.

Our School

Our school premises are on Panagouli street in a two story neo- classical building on the ground floor with two entrances.

There are 3 classrooms on the Panagouli entrance facing the Chrysohoidi square and the cultural center and a bigger classroom on the Hionodromou Papa street entrance facing our garden. This is where our end of the school year party and other events take place throughout the year. The garden is also a convenient spot for our students to socialize and have fun before or after their classes.

Our classrooms are equipped with interactive boards which are an indispensable part of the lesson and the walls are thematically decorated with paintings created by Marialena Papakyritsi one of our clients who is a talented self-taught local artist.

In general, our school environment is cozy and students are encouraged to feel at home and make new friends from day one.
