The school itself has 218 students aged 6-12 and is taught by a devoted team of teachers both in the morning and afternoon

having a proficient knowledge of the English language. Some of our students are immigrants from different countries
(Albania, Bulgaria and Ukraine) and refuges from Syria. They face difficulties with the Greek language.Greek students are
very friendly and they also try to help these children to incorporate in the school environment Presently all of our students
learn English from Grade C and onwards. Additionally, from Grade E they learn either French or German.
