International School of Athens - Middle School

In keeping with the philosophy of ISA, the Middle School (grades 7-9) emphasizes the growth of each student as an individual and prepares him or her for greater mastery and critical evaluation of the subject matter taught. In addition to the core subjects: English, history and geography, mathematics, and science, students learn two foreign languages and study the arts, technology, and physical education.

Each grade builds on the foundation of the previous year with a broad-based and balanced course of study. Special attention is given to the inter-relatedness of the various subjects. Internationalism and multi-culturalism are also emphasized. Small class sizes allow students to blossom intellectually, socially and personally.

Several field trips take place every year relating to the subjects taught, enhancing interaction and communication. Through an advisory programme, we stress self-discipline, co-operative behaviour, acceptance of cultural differences, and responsibility.

International School of Athens - High School

Students in the ISA High School begin their studies in grade 10, which serves as a pre-IB diploma course. After successful completion of this course, students then continue on to the IB Diploma Programme for their final two years in grades 11 and 12. Students in the IB programme have the choice of six subjects, one in each academic discipline as prescribed by the International Baccalaureate Organisation. Some students may choose not to do the full IB Diploma; in this case they must choose their subjects in order to satisfy the school’s graduation requirements.

Our dedicated and talented teachers work with students to help them achieve academic success at the highest possible level; our graduates are well prepared to enter the best British, European, American or other universities. Our University Placement Advisor assists students in making optimal choices for their future studies, and ensures that applications to universities are made in a timely, appropriate manner. At the end of the 12th grade, qualified students are awarded the high school diploma, irrespective as to whether they also are awarded the IB Diploma. Through our accreditation with Middle States Association in the United States, the high school diploma is accepted world-wide, and is recognized as equivalent to the ‘apolytirio’ by the Greek Ministry of Education.
