International Schools

Situated in the district of Marousi, the German School of Athens (Deutsche Schule Athen) is one of the most prestigious and demanding high schools in Greece. Being a coeducational independent educational institution in Athens, the school has been in operation since 1896. Founded by the well-known architect and archeologist Wilhelm Doerpfeld, the GSA stands for the educational elite of Greece including politicians, people of business and culture. Education is mainly in German and Greek - following the Greek educational system, and allowing students to sit for Greek university entrance exams and at the same time prepare students for the German Abitur examinations. The German Section has full primary and secondary level training while the Greek Section has Gymnasion and Lykeion. English language is also taught at a high level. With a wide offer of extracurricular activities and public events space for getting together outside the classroom is created. The school, within its surroundings, spreads cultural, social and ecological virtues and its goal is to set an example by its educational objectives.
