Verita International School Greece

Have you ever wondered what it takes to bring a book to life? Our Year 6 students had the chance to find out from illustrator Katie Sabry, creator of The Amazing Adventures of Malekidi Moggies (no catnip required!) 🐱📚 Katie shared her process of building a story with images, from initial sketches to finished illustrations, showing us how every picture can speak a thousand words. This visit added new dimensions to our Year 6 English studies, perfectly complementing our storytelling unit and inspiring students to explore narrative from an artist’s perspective. Now they are off to discover more fresh ways to express themselves, both on and off the page!

Oxi Day is a powerful reminder of Greece’s unwavering spirit and a testament to the values of unity, compassion, and courage that resonate on this day! 🇬🇷 Today, we reflect on the importance of standing up for justice and embracing the values of kindness and compassion in challenging times. We are so incredibly proud of our teachers, staff, students, and parents for coming together to create a celebration that honors this rich history and makes our community even stronger. Thank you all for making today so special! #VeritaSchool #internationalschool #athensprivateschool #privateeducation #privateschool #primaryschool #nurseryschool #secondaryschool #highschool #oxi #oxiday

Every journey begins with that challenging first step, and while it may feel daunting, it's important to celebrate those small wins along the way.

Remember that little field trip hint we dropped at the end of our Brain Wave video? Well... the secret’s out! 👀 Year 1 ventured to the Athens Museum of Illusions and discovered the incredible ways their eyes and brain work together to create mind-bending tricks! Optical illusions, interactive exhibits, mind boggling puzzles and so much more, our budding scientists had an unforgettable time connecting classroom fun with real-world wonders. Well done, Year 1 — your brainpower just keeps growing! 🌟

Last week, Ms. Eleni gave us a peek into our exciting IPC Unit, 'The Brain Wave' — and now, Year 3 students get to shine! 🎉 At the Brain Wave Exit Point, our young learners became the educators, teaching parents through interactive stations. From hands-on activities and yoga to healthy brain snacks, each station represented a key part of their journey. A huge thank you to our amazing staff and dedicated teachers for organizing this memorable experience.💡🧠

What does it mean to dream big, understand the past, and tell stories that matter? 📖✨ In Ms.Chrysoula ’s Year 4 Literacy Unit, students are diving into scriptwriting, creatively stepping into the shoes of characters from ‘Tar Beach’ by Faith Ringgold while exploring powerful themes like freedom, equality, and the importance of family. Lessons like these do so much more beyond teaching writing skills—they help us imagine a kinder, more inclusive world. 🌍✍️

Meet Ms. Katya from Year 4! 😄 All the way from San Francisco, she's one of the newest members of the Verita family—and she's full of surprises! Watch until the end for a fun fact you won’t want to miss… Here’s a hint: think pointe shoes and pirouettes! 🩰💫

Sharing our commitment to kindness compassion and well-being thanks to Ryder Delaloye and his powerful workshop, Parenting Through Social-Emotional Wisdom!

It’s moments like this that reinforce our commitment to continuous learning and growth—both for ourselves and for the generations that follow. This is another benchmark in our shared journey! 🌟

Speed, focus, and a little bit of fun! 🧠✍️ Ms. Eleni shows us how she prepares our students for learning with 'Brain Guy'—a fun, timed brain gym activity designed to boost focus and balance both sides of the brain. It just so happens to be the perfect warm-up before putting pen to paper!
