5 PRIMARY SCHOOL NEAS SMYRNIS, ATHENS, GREECE

  • The 5 Dimotiko Sholeio Neas Smyrnis is situated in Nea Smyrni  a suburb in the southwest of Athens and close to the coast. There are 320 pupils in our school and 25 teachers. Some of our pupils come from migrant families especially from Albania, Poland and Romania.

    Our pupils are 6 to 12 years old and subjects that develop students’ creativity such as English, ICT, Art, Music and Drama are taught among others from the 1st year. Every year we participate in a lot of projects, Regional, National as well as European, Comenius & eTwinning. Their themes vary from environmental to cultural as well as projects about our pupils’ health and well being. Our pupils enjoy participating in the projects and learn about things by seeing and doing. They also have the opportunity to come in contact with pupils from other European countries via emails and webcam meetings.

    Every year we organize outings to archaeological sites, museums and theatres and give school shows for the parents and the local community. In the afternoon the Parents’ Association runs free time activities such as basketball, volleyball, table tennis, chess, dancing and drawing.
