HISTORY
The school was founded by Dr Maria Theochari in 1991. The aim was to establish a child-centred learning environment for all children. From the initial 17 children, the numbers tripled within two years and bigger premises were found to accommodate the new popular school. In 2004 a secondary level of education was added.[/penci_text_block][/penci_column][/penci_container][/vc_column][/vc_row]
