TREHANDIRI – a traditional Greek boat taking on board the child into its first journey in the learning world.
A home away from home
A home away from home, the school establishes an ongoing communication channel with parents hence and an open door policy.
Each child is regarded as a unique individual within our school community and is viewed as a contributor to the process of learning. This makes every child an active part of an entire system of interconnected and ongoing relationships – peers, teachers, family. All children have preparedness, potential and curiosity – the aim of the school is to kindle and maintain the appetite for learning, making the learning experiential, fun, substantial and purposeful.

School’s philosophy
The school’s philosophy is built upon the idea that the environment should function as a ‘third’ teacher and thus has been designed to offer limitless possibilities- the external environment offers an area for symbolic play and psychomotor development of the highest safety standards, an area for physical exercise/events/presentations and, of course, the essential nature path area which stimulates the senses and allows the child monitored hands on contact with water, soil, plants, stones and garden.
