Vari
How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)
British (definitely not international)

Nursery-Year 13
How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)
The school is very far, out of the way, for students not living in voula or glyfada, and their bus option is overpriced and unorganized.
How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
The campus is a beautiful campus, but the extra-curriculars are limited, if not involved with sports. Most times they are not encouraged as they "take too much time out of school work"

There is an ESL program, but other than that they are very unhelpful with the whole process.

There are parent teacher meeting each quarter, but that it. They disbanded the PTA years ago.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Look elsewhere, the school is great for younger children and convenient if you live in the area, till 8th grade, but after that, I would reccomend some of the other IS in the area.
