Starting the lesson

Our everyday schedule usually starts at 09.30 am. On the first day of lessons every student is enrolled at the school’s reception. They are given a small guide tour of the School and the area around it. All students, apart from Beginners, need to write a small placement examination, so as to find out their actual level.

A Welcome file is given to all new students, which includes educational material (books, CD, grammar book and exercises), maps of the city, other information about transportation in the city, places to eat, information about exhibitions, theatres, concerts and also useful brochures for wonderful excursions to Greek islands and archaeological places of interest.

The lessons usually last from 9 am until 9 pm, depending on the groups that have been formed. Lessons are usually four hours long, with ten minute breaks in between, when the students can have a Greek coffee at the school canteen. The educational programme is not restricted in usual lessons. There are also projects, individual or in groups, presentations about music, literature, mythology, history, Greek films, museum visits and evening walks at the city for dinner. Students have the ability to study in the library and use the computers in the computer lab with the aid of their teachers.
