Acknowledging the sensitive period of adolescence that Junior High School students go through, we encourage them to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to develop skills that will prepare them for high school, university and the rest of their lives. In our School’s singular environment in Psychico, we provide them with a broad range of subject areas and activities with which they learn and experiment, thus cultivating their talents and interests.

We comply with the Ministry of Education’s curriculum while applying the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme’s (MYP) concepts of holistic learning, intercultural understanding and skills development. The IB Organization (IBO) has authorized Athens College’s Junior High Schools as MYP World Schools.

We implement innovative programs, integrate technology into our teaching, and complement the Ministry’s textbooks with supplementary materials. We offer support tutorials that delve deeper into the subject content and fill gaps that students may encounter, as well as create and administer eQuizzes in all subjects. Lessons are held in the Library where students conduct research work. We enrich the program with clubs, activities, and events, such as presentations, competitions, and field trips.

• Lessons take place in state-of-the-art classrooms, well-equipped science and computer laboratories, and spaces specifically designed for visual arts and music.
• Members of the faculty, all with vast teaching experience, are divided into Academic Departments which meet regularly to decide upon course direction, methodology and best practices to be applied to the teaching of their respective discipline, as well as assessment of student performance.
• The School is a member of New York Academy of Science’s “Global STEM Alliance” for the implementation of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) program.
