St. Lawrence College

St. Lawrence College offers a British education to children ages 3-18, in a modern purpose-built campus set in more than 20 acres of glorious countryside in southern Athens. The school’s stunning location provides the ideal setting for unpressurised learning. It is served by an excellent communications network that provides easy access to pupils based across the entire Athens-Piraeus conurbation. In this peaceful rural setting, complete with first-class resources and facilities, children can develop their study skills and achieve lasting and meaningful learning.

The education our pupils receive is based upon the English National Curriculum and British educational values throughout, from pre-school through junior school (Key Stage 1 & 2) and senior school (Key Stages 3-5), with IGCSEs being taken at the end of Year 11 and AS & A-Levels in Years 12 and 13. The vast majority of our pupils progress to UK universities, while others choose to embark on their higher education experience in the US or elsewhere in the world.

Under the guidance of an outstanding body of teachers, our pupils succeed in reaching far more than their academic potential alone. They become citizens of the world, fully equipped to recognise and respect diversity, either in their immediate society or within the global environment; to appreciate and utilise the opportunities provided for them, and to understand the value of being an active and considerate member of their community. They forge bonds of friendship within an inclusive environment of pupils from more than fifty nationality backgrounds.

Our school is one community, united in our respect for each other and ourselves; tolerant of differences and proud of our diversity; honest and positive about our learning and behaviour every day. We promise to provide an environment that gives our pupils the best possible opportunities to develop as happy, curious, independent and eager life-long learners, who believe in themselves and in their limitless ability to learn; who are considerate of others and their needs and who care about their responsibilities as young citizens within a shared community and a diverse society.

We will help our pupils gain appreciation and respect for education itself, and for the amazing opportunity they have been given by attending St. Lawrence College. When they eventually progress on from our school, every one of them will leave us fully equipped to face the world and its challenges.
