About

We have created a beautifully designed and welcoming environment that has 6 fully air-conditioned rooms. The largest room is the creative and entertainment room. In this room there are electronic art computers and an interactive touch table where educational films can be shown. There is one ample space for play, tables for crafts and painting as well as our beautiful library full of books and board games. We also have 3 large reading rooms filled with individual desks with special chairs for comfort and support of the child's back. In addition, there is an office in which individual, private study can take place as well as meetings with parents. At the rear of the center is the kitchen where we make our lunch. Finally, Aristeideion has a large and beautiful courtyard that will be utilised in the summer months for our Summer School!

At the centre we will help students revise all their subjects for the following school day. Parents, after consulting with the head of the centre, can choose a time convenient for them to drop off their child. Alternatively, we also provide a service that transports children from their school to the centre instead (however, this is optional). Children that arrive at the centre directly from school can be provided lunch. This is optional and upon request. Each subject will be covered for one hour and thirty minutes with supervision by an appropriate teacher resolving any questions students may have. In the event that a student completes all of his schoolwork before the end of the session, additional material will be given to help aid the student’s knowledge and deepen his or her understanding of the subject. Our goal is to make studying as enjoyable as possible and eventually giving students the tools they need to plan their own effective study schedule.

Our classes consist of small groups, with the option of private study on a one-to-one basis where necessary.

Children with learning disabilities are provided with a specially tailored study programme with qualified teaching staff.

After completing all schoolwork, students can remain at the centre and join in the various creative activities we have to offer.

Aristeideion uses a wide variety of teaching methods. The use of computers, interactive whiteboards, notes provided by our teachers, group work are all methods used to help engage with students and spark a genuine interest with the material they are studying. Students will revise their subjects for the following school day and be provided additional material when requested or deemed necessary by the teachers who are there to solve any questions that may arise. Teachers will also help prepare students for school tests. All of the above will help relieve students from any possible stress and free the rest of their day for other activities.

Our centre also provides an additional creative programme. If parents are unable to collect their children after they have completed their schoolwork or wish for them to stay for longer, they can remain at the centre and join in on the various creative and educational activities.

Finally, teachers will utilize unofficial holidays or school trips to go over and review all school material and help fill in any gaps in the student’s understanding of a particular subject.

Aristeideion offers a separate study room for Secondary School students. Students will revise their subjects for the following school day and revise accordingly thus helping them prepare for school tests and final exams. At Aristeideion students will learn how to effectively manage their time and how long should be spent on each school subject. With the help of our modern technological equipment studying will become more enjoyable for students. We want them to study because they want to and not because they have to; let’s not forget that a secondary school student is still a child at heart.

A large number of children nowadays face learning difficulties. Aristeideion will be able to help these children make their studying more enjoyable and understandable with the use of specialist teachers. Each child is given as much time and attention needed for them to understand and come to terms with the school curriculum. Through specific teaching, we emphasize either verbal or written communication always dependent upon on the child's needs. This is determined by the appropriate teacher who will draft the child’s daily study schedule and constantly communicate with the child’s parents to update them on their performance.

Nowadays, as parents become further engrossed in work and other necessary obligations, we thought we would initiate a creative programme in which our students can participate in a safe environment, enabling parents to no longer worry about the well-being of their child. Children can enjoy arts and crafts, play board games, complete Greek and Foreign language quizzes as well as play computer games, read books, watch educational films and any other activity he or she may be interested in. This programme begins as soon as students finish all of their schoolwork.

At Aristeideion children can in engage educational activities, such as:

• Greek and Foreign Language educational toys: using the interactive whiteboard we can play various educational quizzes not only in Greek but also in other languages.
• Painting: paint with markers, crayons, colored pencils and acrylic paints!
• Handcrafts: We create original constructions with recyclable materials that can be found at home.
• Computer use: our centre has modern computers enabling the child to read and play on them.

Aristeideion is a very warm and intimate space. We provide a service that transports children from their school to the centre and those who arrive at the centre directly from school can be provided lunch. This is optional and upon request. Staff at Aristeideion are happy, polite and very eager to work. They are also able to entertain and inspire children by giving them important knowledge. Also, children learn to study properly acquiring the necessary skills for the future. The centre has computers that students can use to complete schoolwork and further online exercises. Additionally, each child has their own "Meletitirio", a notebook in which the teacher can communicate with parents on daily basis in written form about the progress of their child and any problems he or she may be facing. Students can then stay on for our creative programme.

Our centre works as a summer school as well. From mid-June to mid-August the centre is open from 7:30 a.m. until 17:30 p.m, serving parents by offering quality pastime for children. We spend pleasant and creative moments with many educational activities and play in the garden. Also, we help prepare children for the next academic year.

Aristeideion maintains daily communication with parents. Each child has its own "Meletitirio", a notebook in which the teacher can communicate with parents on daily basis in written form about the progress of their child and any problems he or she may be facing. Apart from the above, just before the end of each school quarter we organize the 'Parent Awareness Day "enabling parents to come to our centre and discuss with teachers their child’s progress.
