Campion School - Athens

For over forty years Campion School has been well established as the leading British-style international school in Athens. Founded in 1970 by Mr and Mrs Thomas Campion Shortell, American philhellenes then resident in Athens, and named after St Edmund Campion, a renowned 16th century scholar, the school began its existence in response to the growing demand for a high-quality, English-speaking education in Athens. In its first few years, the school primarily served the foreign community, but for some years now there has been a healthy number of pupils of Greek origin alongside children representing over forty nationalities. The resulting mix produces tolerant, internationally minded young people ready for the challenge of life in the 21st century.
