Erasmus+

The Aristotelio private school, aka “ARISTOTELIO”, is a secondary private school that includes Junior High School and High School, with ages ranging from 12-19. We are in the North of Greece, in the region of Central Macedonia. Serres is also about an hour from the second largest, economically and culturally important town in Greece, Thessaloniki. The school has about 200 students and 30 teachers. Our students come from all walks of life and from the whole surrounding area.The school curriculum follows the standards regulated by the Ministry of Education and the European Educational Syllabus, however it also includes a lot of extra activities that focus on sport, art, languages and new technologies. The school has a music studio, theatre club, film studio, volleyball, football, basketball and handball teams, modern art, history of art and dance clubs, robotics and stem classes. We emphasize on the use of foreign languages and we certify English, French and German after exams according to the European Frame for languages. We also include the use of modern technology in the teaching process and our students obtain ICT certification according to EU regulations. Our teaching methods include team work and initiative, as they are student-centered. We also aim to promote social values and environmental awareness as we prepare the future active citizens of the world.One could say that Aristotelio is not just your typical Greek high school. It was founded in 2004 and it’s the only private school in Serres, which means that it is both modern and one of a kind. Those two facts are far from being the only things that makes our school so appealing and, well, awesome ! First of all, our teachers have tons of qualifications and they truly care about their students’ education. That is  why most of them offer extra classes that are held in the evening, which greatly help any student who may be struggling. Furthermore, the school participates in various competitions, which are mostly for students who excel in maths or physics, and as a result, they enhance their skills and add some valuable wins or participations to their portfolio.

After 20 years of active involvement in European projects we have the expertise and the knowledge to run, monitor and disseminate Erasmus projects. The teachers involved in the project teach different subjects and as well are fluent in English so they will combine their expertise in the subject they teach with the use of a foreign language. They all have participated in other European projects and have experience in the field.  Our students are well familiar with state of the art technology and use it in their projects not only for Erasmus but also when working on projects for the school.As part of the chain of UNESCO chain of  schools, we have  participate in different initiatives and we have  taken part in  social and environmental awareness actions. The school constantly takes part in different cultural exchanges that promote diversity and tolerance and awareness of the fact that we build our future and we are responsible through our actions for the future of our home, the Earth. We would like to emphasize the fact  that our school uses technology as part of the teaching approach and we do  not use books, as all the students work with tablets and are connected through OneNote platform to the teachers. We have quite an experience in the use of technology and the Internet in the teaching process, and at the same time we also educate the students on all the dangers it may involve and safety precautions.We are a school not afraid to take risks, we are a school that makes the best of the new teaching methods and new technologies, but in the same time we keep the good practices of the past. Our only goal is  to prepare the future citizens of our country  and of the world for a very demanding modern reality where the  values, the creative skills, the knowledge and the confidence they have gained at school will help them manage and excel in life, as do many of our distinguished alumni
