On the eve of this decade nobody expected that it would turn out to be so dramatic. All our plans and events for the year 2019-2020 were put on hold when the pandemic broke out in March of 2020. Our school was called, as millions of other businesses, to demonstrate adaptability and ingenuity and our lessons are very moved transfered online. Despite the difficulties, the continued absolute 100% success rate of that year proves that in the so many decades of operation our school has learned to withstand disruptions and meet challenges and come out victorious in the end.
Even though our face to face lessons are moved online, this doesn't mean that they become less engaging and motivating. Our teachers try different tools to increase engagement, such the BBC Live Classes which bring learners from different countries together in an online collaborative environment. Gradually from 2022 onwards our classes return to normal and in December 2023 we had the opportunity to celebrate with hundreds of friends, teachers and alumni the 70 consecutive years of operation in a grand musical put on by our students spanning all decades from the 50s to the present. The trust you have shown to us through the decades and our genuine desire to equip new generations with the necessary qualifications for success and happiness is what keeps us committed to the vision that Sophia Stamatopoulou had back in the early 1950s.
