Music School of Komotini, Greece
The student body of the Music School of Komotini consists of about 320 students ranging from 13 to 18 years of age. The students have a diverse social, cultural & educational background due to an allocation of different nationalities, ethnic minorities & different cultures, across the area of Thrace, where the School is located. In order to integrate students with such different backgrounds into comprehensive, as well as musical education, the school has adopted various practices, such as mentorship involving students of different age & background, flexible training models, such as individual tutoring, as well as attendance of mixed ability classes, frequent cooperation with parents, & social partners & so on.
