Why Campion School?

For 55 years, Campion School has provided exceptional international education in Athens, Greece. Our commitment to academic excellence, character development, and appreciation for Greek culture makes us a top choice for families seeking a nurturing and stimulating learning environment in the accessible suburb of Pallini.

Why Choose Campion?

  • Academic Excellence: We consistently achieve high results in IGCSE and IB examinations, paving the way for our graduates to gain placements at prestigious universities in the UK, EU, and North America. Our dedicated, well-qualified teaching staff, recruited from respected universities worldwide, participate in ongoing professional development to ensure the highest quality instruction. Small class sizes (approximately 20 students, and even smaller in the IB Diploma Programme) allow for personalised attention and maximize student potential.

  • Nurturing Community: Campion fosters a friendly and caring atmosphere where students thrive. Founded in 1970 by Philhellenes Thomas and Betsy Shortell, our school is built on strong moral values, encouraging students to develop their character and become responsible global citizens.

  • A Rich Educational Experience: We offer a broad range of IGCSE subjects and the internationally recognised International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Beyond academics, students can explore their passions through a diverse array of extra-curricular activities, including sports, drama, MUN, forensics and music.

  • Ideal Location and Facilities: Our green and secure campus in Pallini provides an ideal setting for learning and growth. The easily accessible location in northeast Attica ensures a convenient commute for families.

Our Founding Aims:

Campion’s mission is rooted in three core principles:

  • To provide academic excellence for the English-speaking community in Athens.
  • To cultivate a wholesome, values-based environment that nurtures character development and responsible citizenship.
  • To foster an understanding and appreciation for Greek culture and ideals.

With approximately 700 students and a balanced two-form entry in Junior School and three teaching groups in Senior School, Campion offers a close-knit community feel while providing a world-class education. We invite you to discover the Campion difference.
