Theodoropoulos School, Chania
Theodoropoulos School is a private school that has students from the ages of 2 to 18. The main subjects taught are Maths, Modern Greek Language, Ancient Greek Language, Literature, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, English, French, German, and ICT Studies. The school’s philosophy is to provide an education that is more well-rounded than the state curriculum in Greece, and to give students the ability to think critically.
Chania for Students
Chania provides an envious lifestyle year-round. Its cultural agenda is full, providing a diverse range of events for all tastes. Modern and ancient theater performances are on offer, along with live music events and art exhibitions. For something special, catch a movie at one of the two outdoor cinemas operating in the city. For beach-lovers, the sand of the Mediterranean is always nearby.
The School of European Education of Heraklion
In another one of Crete’s main cities, Heraklion, the School of European Education (SEEH) is found in the old town, very close to the seaside. It is a Type II European School, which follows the curriculum of Schola Europaea but gets its funding from the Greek government.
SEEH Education
The school gives an English language education to children whose parents are nationals of other EU member countries, as well as a Greek education for Greek speakers. There are classes from nursery to high-school and students have second-language learning from first grade and third language starting in High School. The Nursery School is two years, the Primary School is five years, and the Secondary School is seven years. Students take the European Baccalaureate at age 18.
Students come from many places across Europe, including the UK, Finland, Italy, Cyprus, Moldova, and Greece. The students from SEEH are inspired by the education and form a love of Crete and of Greece.
