Aigio GREECE

  • 1st High School of Aigio

     

    Το Αίγιο είναι μία όμορφη, παραθαλάσσια πόλη στη Δυτική Ελλάδα με μεγάλη ιστορία. Θεωρείται “μπαλκόνι του Κορινθιακού κόλπου” καθώς είναι χτισμένο αμφιθεατρικά.

    Το σχολείο μας (https://1gym-aigiou.ach.sch.gr/wp/) έχει περίπου 270 μαθητές (12-15 χρονών) και περίπου 30 καθηγητές. Πιστεύουμε ότι η “συμμετοχή των μαθητών” σε ποικίλες δραστηριότητες έχει πολύ μεγάλη σημασία για τη μόρφωσή τους.

    Χαιρόμαστε που συμμετέχουμε στο πρόγραμμα Ερατοσθένης, καθώς μας δίνει την ευκαιρία να επικοινωνήσουμε με σχολεία από άλλα μέρη στον κόσμο και να πλουτίσουμε τις γνώσεις μας σε πολλά διαφορετικά αντικείμενα.

    Είμαστε περήφανοι που επαναλαμβάνουμε το πείραμα του Ερατοσθένη, ενός από τους πιο γνωστούς αρχαίους προγόνους μας.

     

    Aigio is a beautiful coastal city in western Greece with a long history. It is called "the balcony of the Corinthian Gulf" as it is amphitheatrically built on a slope.

    Our school has about 270 students (12-15 years old) and about 30 teachers. We believe that “the participation of students” in various activities is very important for their education.

    We enjoy being members of the Eratosthenes team because the Eratosthenes project gives us the opportunity to communicate with schools from other parts of the world and to enrich our knowledge on many diverse subjects.

    We are proud to repeat the experiment of Eratosthenes, one of our most known ancestors.
