Konstantinos Kavalieratos, a visionary from Kefallonia, dreamt of a unique institution. Here at Ionios School, his dream took root. Founded in 1908, Ionios School started humbly in a small building. It later moved to Akadimias Square, then finally settled in Filothei. Ionios School now spans across two campuses, one in Filothei and another in Marousi. The Marousi campus even boasts a state-of-the-art athletic center named after the school’s founder, Konstantinos Kavalieratos. Ionios School has blossomed into a comprehensive educational institution. It offers kindergarten, demotic school, gymnasium, and lyceum, as well as an International Baccalaureate program. The school’s centennial celebration in 2008 was a testament to its enduring legacy. A two-day conference, featuring prominent university professors in education, marked the occasion. The events were held at prestigious venues like the Benaki Museum and Harokopio University. Ionios School emphasizes a well-rounded education. Students engage in a diverse range of extracurricular activities from sports to the arts. From swimming to chess, puppetry to folk dancing, there’s something for everyone here at Ionios School. This ensures that students not only excel academically but also develop their talents and passions. The school nurtures creativity and helps each student discover their unique potential. Ionios School provides a holistic approach to education. This tradition continues to inspire generations of students.
