My child is in lower school. We are a greek family. Because it is of high importance to me I will start with hygiene. When I entered the children bathrooms I was shocked !!! No paper , some sticky soap nothing to clean the toilets that even cheap schools have and in general. At a school that I pay this amount of money the toilets MUST BE at the level of grande Bretagne hotel at least. As a result children are not taught hygiene properly and they get sick all the time ! THIS MUST STOP . Call an expert company to provide the school with everything to protect the children ! Now to the major things 1) Teachers allow parents to affect their attitude and make better contact and pay more attention to some children . As a result many parents we are very disappointed. English is not taught properly and the accent my child has got is really bad. There are children in the class who insist to speak Greek and the teachers don’t do anything about that. As a result the other children speak Greek too . That must change immediately. The sports teachers are only Greek as a result they don’t know the correct terms used in sports in English. We don’t like that at all. Teachers are of Greek descent most of them therefore English is not a necessity. The school has gathered the 90% of the Greek gdp. As a result every morning there are body guards with dozens of cars creating an atmosphere that won’t turn good in the future for the children who just want a normal life. Very rich people in the school tend to make more play dates with equally rich people and the school now has three categories of children: the ultra rich Greeks , the normal Greeks and the foreigners that are not very happy and they try to build their own community. Parents act on a way that many children are secluded from other children because their parents arrange play dates not with who their child wants but with who they like ! Worst of all in any case is that the school is losing its British orientation. Also the school tries to present everything like fun. As a result the children don’t get the academic level they are supposed to get for the money they get. Facilities: in the lower school they are worst that the public school of an average neighbourhood in Athens ! Broken chairs filthy classes packed children. If that doesn’t change at least 20 children that I know we will head to another more normal

この世の中で一番酷い学校。虐めが多く、先生方も何もやらない。勉強を覆いけど、何も習ってない。行政 の中でも虐めが酷い。絶対ここの学校に行かない方がいい。

Teachers are of low quality and support is needed. Hygiene standards are below par for this level of school and the very high fees. In the nursery the cost was exorbitant with all this study from home for 4 year olds.
