Message from the Heads of School

The teaching and administrative staff of all levels of the Greek-French School Ursulines, together with the Directors General, warmly welcome you to our educational community.

The Greek-French School Ursulines is the oldest foreign school in Greece, with an unbroken presence since 1670 — over 350 years of dedicated contribution to the education of children and young people. It belongs to the World Organization of Ursuline Schools and, since 2017, has also been a member of the La Salle Greece Educational Organization.

As a non-profit institution and a Greek school with an international outlook, it constantly evolves while remaining faithful to its history and principles.

Our School, offering a high-quality, student-centred curriculum, strives to impart knowledge while fostering the development of each student’s personality and skills. In this spirit, it stays engaged with contemporary issues and encourages students to participate in pedagogical, scientific, environmental, athletic, cultural, and charitable activities.

Through these initiatives, students achieve well-rounded personal growth and develop a strong sense of collective and global awareness. At the same time, the School promotes participation in educational programmes, clubs, conferences, and both national and international competitions, thereby strengthening the spirit of cooperation and fair play.

In this dynamic process of growth, the students of the Greek-French School Ursulines are supported by a valuable asset:

the exceptionally high level of foreign language instruction in French and English, and the effective use of new technologies — electronic platforms, educational software, and experiential activities that spark engagement and curiosity in learning.

All of us at the Greek-French School Ursulines aspire to be a pioneering and innovative institution — open to the world, receptive to challenges, and adaptable to change. With our eyes set firmly on the future, we evolve continuously, renewing every aspect of the services we provide.

Our educational vision is built around three central pillars:

To educate is to love.

To educate is to collaborate.

To educate is to care for the child’s whole personality — intellectual, emotional, and spiritual.

Guided by these principles, we are shaping a school where teachers and parents share a common vision for their students’ education — one pursued with dedication, joy, and creativity, in an atmosphere of harmony and mutual respect.

It is a school whose members lead by example while remaining committed to continuous self-improvement, professional growth, and personal development.

Our graduation diploma — internationally recognized as the certification of an Educational Organization with a global presence — stands as a guarantee of the quality of our education and the integrity of our graduates.

Our communication now takes a new step forward, enriched with interactivity and user-friendly features. In this spirit, and with great pleasure, we present the new, redesigned website of our School.

We invite you to browse freely and explore both the new and familiar features — and to join us in this new era!
