Established in 1972, our school has a rich history. Initially operating as a department of DELTA PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL and later as a department of BRITISH HELLENIC COLLEGE after 1990, it has evolved into a branch of the 4E EDUCATION AND TRAINING educational company. Today, our school operates not only in Athens but also in various cities across Greece (Thessaloniki, Chania). The name “Alexander the Great” was chosen to honor the significant influence of the Greek language, which spread extensively following Alexander the Great’s expedition to India. It is worth noting that Alexander the Great himself established the first organized school in Babylon, dedicated to teaching Greek language and culture to non-Greeks, as documented by Plutarch.
If you’re looking to further enrich your Greek experience, we offer a range of “Supplementary Greek Courses” that you may choose from. Whether it’s Greek Cooking, Advance your Greek with songs, Greek musical instruments, Ancient Greek Theater, Greek for specific purposes, or Reading Greek newspapers, our Supplementary Greek programs provide an additional feature to enhance your overall experience.
I attended the school to complete my B1 level in (modern) Greek language and had the best teacher, Nancy! She taught me a lot about Greek culture too. The price might seem a bit higher compared to other schools, but it includes the material/book and they organize weekly events that you can attend for free (dinners, museums, dance classes...), so it's worth it! It's also very close to the metro station. For me it was a great experience, I highly recommend this school. ...more
Two wonderful weeks! Everything was absolutely perfect. I learned a lot, and I think (I hope!) my Greek has improved. My teacher, Athanasia, was very skilled, incredibly friendly, and attentive to anything I might have needed. The activities outside the classroom were also truly interesting (the Director’s talk, Mr. Kostas, and the visit with him to the Revolution-themed Park, the visit to the Benaki Museum, and of course the amazing Cretan dinner!). The school is very welcoming, and all the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Thank you so much, and… I hope to return to learn even more! ...more
My stay couldn't have been better! I had an amazing time in Athens and loved the school so much! The teachers and stuff in the school were as charming, professional and attentive as possible. The lessons were fun and productive, and every other activity organized by the school was an absolute joy! I'll definitely be back next year. ...more
The teachers were very helpful, the quality of teaching was of a very high standard and the resources provided were very useful. The lessons were structured very systematically and the exercises were accustomed to all aspects of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking) ...more
Hello! My name is Marie-Caroline. I am from France. It was my second time in this school in Athens. I enjoyed it a lot... again! The school is located in Athens city center in front of a large and great park, called “PEDION TOU AREOS”. It is also close from Exarcheia, a lively area of Athens with lot of students, coffees, nice restaurants with mezze…. My apartment was located in this area and I felt like a Greek student although I am not a student anymore since a very long time! The school’s building is beautiful and there is a courtyard with flowers. The Greek lessons were very interesting and in line with my level and my expectations. They helped me to improve my Greek grammar, my vocabulary, my pronunciation … Apart from the language, thanks to the school, I learned also many things about the Greek History, the mythology, the Greek culture and about the Greek “diet” with which you can live up to 120 years old! The Director, my teacher, and all the members of the school were very welcoming and sweet. I was very happy. I hope I will have the opportunity to come back soon… for the third time! ...more
The best 2 weeks I have ever spent. The people here are lovely and I learned so much! If I ever needed any help with anything at all, I could always ask them. My teacher was Elena, and I'm still in contact with her now. The school offered a lot of extracurricular activities, such as traditional dancing classes, museum visits, and dinners. But there were also a few activities which came about spontaneously, just because all of us (the students) were really interested in them (for example one of the best nights I've ever had in my life: watching "Iphigenia in Aulis" by Euripides in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, on the foot of the Acropolis. Truly a magical experience. When I left, they gave me several books to continue my greek learning journey. I hold every one of these people in a very special place in my heart and I'm already planning when I can come back, because I want to relive this as soon as possible! ...more
