The Sports – Dance Program aims to provide children with an early stimulus by acquainting them with a variety of sports or dance, so that they will continue, if they choose, with specialized training. Our objective is to provide proper training so that children will enjoy the sport they have selected or so that they will join the School’s competitive sports program.
Elementary School 1st – 2nd grades
With the implementation of extended hours in Elementary School, each day students have an opportunity to become creatively engaged and to gain different experiences in sports activities, at no additional cost.
Elementary School 1st – 6th grades, Junior High School, High School
The already extensive program is constantly enriched with new activities (ping-pong, hip-hop, modern dance, strength training-muscle toning, cross fit, volleyball, etc.) in order to meet the interests and needs of all children.
For volleyball, swimming and track & field, there are sections based on graded levels of competence (beginners, advanced, pre-competition training, competition training). Students-athletes have an opportunity to participate in workshops, tournaments and friendly matches. The objective is to provide a methodical approach to training and the possibility of inclusion in the Schools’ Varsity and the Athens College – Psychico College Alumni Association’s (SAKA) teams.
Activities take place on weekdays, after the end of the normal school day, and on weekends at the HAEF facilities in both Kantza and Psychico.
Track & Field and Competitive Swimming Program
For students who want to join our School’s SAKA teams, special sections of intensive training (graduated skill levels) have been created and are offered at special rates. At the same time, the highly successful Competitive Swimming Program continues its operation, combined with a program of muscular strengthening, upon the coaches' suggestion.
- Student transport from Kantza to Psychico will be by school buses.
- The annual cost of enrollment in the academies is €400 for Track & Field and €500 for Soccer
- Registration of athletes in SAKA teams takes place at the SAKA offices where an annual athletic fee of €100 is paid.
