St Lawrence College, Athens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St Lawrence College is a privately owned school in southern Athens, Greece. It was founded in 1980 to cater the educational needs of British expatriates and any family which desired a British education for its children. It started with 60 children, and rapidly expanded with a present student body of over 800 at preschool, junior school and high school level. Its current headmaster is Mr. G.N. Kladidis. Its campus recently relocated to Vari in southern Athens, from Hellinikon where it operated from for 22 years.

The alumni of St Lawrence College mainly continue their studies at foreign Universities in Greece or the United Kingdom even though students have been sent to various other countries including the United States, Canada and Australia. One former student has recently been awarded his Doctorate by the University of Cambridge.

The main benefactors of the school are the Nishan, Hleihel and Samaras families.
