Athens

Welcome to Verita International School

National Curriculum of England & Wales brought to life through inquiry-based learning and social-emotional curriculum

Nursery to Year 8

The Verita International School Difference

We understand that the world is becoming a more connected and complex place. Education needs to be more than the just simple transfer of knowledge. Students need to become independent thinkers, problem solvers and innovators.  At Verita, we cultivate the skills that allow students to become the leaders of tomorrow.

The Verita student is global, interdisciplinary, and boundaryless. They challenge what is possible and find solutions for what is impossible. They are empowered for an unknown future. 

How We're

Different

Emotional Intelligence

We leverage social-emotional learning methods & curricula to empower students to comprehend & manage emotions so they can ultimately channel them into self-awareness & management, decision-making, and resilience skills.

Inquiry-Based Learning

A teaching approach that builds on the idea that educators and students both share responsibility for learning. Students’ questions, ideas, and observations lay at the core of the learning experience. Inquiry methodologies require students to engage in evidence-based reasoning, learning by doing, and creative problem-solving.

Low Student - Teacher Ratio

Verita classes reflect our student-centric philosophy with an impressively low student-teacher ratio of 1:9. The small size of our classes, combined with our inspiring & highly qualified teaching faculty guarantee that students get independent attention and tailor-made differentiated support.

Well-being

Verita actively builds internal programs that promote student and staff well-being. We ensure a space where students feel physically and emotionally safe with a caring adult looking after the progress and acting as an advocate for each child. Most importantly, we ensure that kindness is the center of everything we do.

Service Learning Projects

Verita students must participate in meaningful community service which exposes them to active engagement within communities or environments in need. Using curriculum objectives and innovative approaches, our students work on real-world problems.

Student Agency

Verita promotes skills in students where they build their own, self-directed learning abilities and strategies, allowing them to develop a higher degree of autonomy and self-mastery. Student agency is “the ability of students to act independently within a given environment and assume an amount of control and empowerment”.

  • Embracing the vibrant spirit of Diwali! ✨

Over the past week, our students, across all grades, immersed themselves in the celebration, exploring the essence of this festival through hands-on activities, crafts and celebrations. As we created beautiful art, we also engaged in conversations about the significance of celebrating diverse cultural backgrounds. Through these dialogues, Verita students not only embraced the rich tapestry of traditions but also cultivated a deep understanding of the stories, values, and experiences that make each culture unique. Diwali, with its radiant lights, symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and the liberation from darkness.

Together, we illuminate our hearts with the joy of unity and understanding 🪔

  • Nursery's stormy hands-on discovery! Our little ones are diving into the world of weather with exciting rain experiments. What makes it even more special? Each experiment is purposefully aligned with our literacy and IEYC units, creating a perfect blend of fun and education. These hands-on activities not only spark curiosity but also deepen their understanding of the subjects we explore! ☔️

  • Celebrating the finale of our IPC Unit: Earth as an Island! 

This immersive expedition transformed our students into urban planners, engineers, designers, and artists, championing international-mindedness and global competence. Amidst the celebration of Creative Innovation for National Recycling Day, we focused on sustainability, crafting inventive ways to nurture our little "island," planet Earth. Beyond isolated spots, we explored the evolving cultures, geographical features, and ecosystems of islands.

As we often like to do with IPC endings, our very supportive parents were invited into the classroom to participate and witness their children's learning journey. Students were able to demonstrate their work and their newfound expertise. 💭

The rhythm of sustainability beats on—it echoes in every unit, weaving through our curriculum year-round, guiding our journey to cultivate ingenious and mindful Earth citizens. ♻️

The Verita Learning Adventure ?

The National Curriculum of England is our core curriculum.  We introduce Fieldwork Education’s IEYC, IPC, and IMYC frameworks to provide a deeper interconnected, interdisciplinary, and intercultural learning experience.  Emory University’s Social Emotional Ethical program and Second Step’s Mindfulness curriculum are weaved throughout the curriculum.

Verita ensures that all students meet the rigorous milestones and objectives of the National Curriculum while providing exciting inquiry-based learning opportunities in parallel. 

We believe that through inquiry, active learning, and the development of emotional intelligence in a safe environment, all students are capable of mastery of knowledge, skills and understanding.
