Our students’ good health and safe participation in all of the School’s programs and activities are an unconditional priority for us.
Our Medical Services, unique in the educational system of Greece, include two fully equipped infirmaries on both campuses that operate at all times during normal school hours and when after-school programs are in session.
They are staffed by a pediatrician who is in charge of the services, a pediatrician especially for Kindergarten and eight nurses who, together, ensure the continuous and coordinated provision of care to students in all of the school units. Our goal cannot be fulfilled without the active participation of our students’ parents and, as such, communication and close cooperation with them is essential.
During the pandemic, our Medical Services, in collaboration with the Hellenic-American Educational Foundation Crisis Management Committee, coordinated all the measures implemented for the prevention of the spread of the new coronavirus.
According to the new Joint Ministerial Decision, all measures for the prevention of the spread on the new coronavirus in school units are now repealed (use of face masks, diagnostic testing etc.).
