Verita International School


Athens

2025-2026 Academic Year Enrolments NOW OPEN ​

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

Our students learn differently, think fearlessly, and understand the world in new and innovative ways.​

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.

The Verita International School Difference

At Verita, while the National Curriculum of England serves as our academic foundation to enrich our learning, we integrate Fieldwork Education’s IEYC, IPC, and IMYC frameworks, creating a deeply interconnected, interdisciplinary, and globally minded learning experience. Social-emotional growth is woven into every aspect of our curriculum through our partnership with Emory University’s Social, Emotional, and Ethical (SEE) Learning program. 

At Verita, we believe that true mastery comes through exploration, active engagement, and emotional intelligence—all nurtured in a safe and supportive environment. When students feel valued and inspired, their ability to grow, question, and achieve knows no bounds.

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”.

Fresh air, big laughs, and views that were actually insane. 💙

  • At Verita, we know that early childhood isn’t just about ABCs — it’s about everything.

In these formative years, children are wiring their brains, finding their voices, learning how to take up space, and discovering who they are in the world. Our Early Years Campus is built for exactly that — a space full of wonder, warmth, and wild imagination, where play is serious business and every moment is a chance to grow.

Here, we don’t just prepare children for school. We prepare them for life with wonder as their guide.

  • Parents, this one's for you (and your little yogis too)! 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

There’s still time to catch one of our Yoga Mornings for Parents — a moment to pause, stretch, and breathe with the incredible Ms. Alison leading the way. 💙

We believe wellness should extend beyond the classroom, which is why we’ve created this space for you to recharge, reset, and connect with your child through mindful movement. Bonus? Snacks included!

Only a few sessions left this week so come flow with us before it’s too late!
  • Meet Maggie Papakristos — our unforgettable (even if she momentarily forgot) Nursery Lead at Verita Early Years! 💫

With an impressive 28 years of teaching experience and a degree in Primary Education from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, Maggie brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Verita.

"I absolutely love how Verita integrates social-emotional learning into every aspect of our program. The atmosphere here is so welcoming and supportive.. It's like a second home for both the children and the staff!" – Maggie

Favourite Book: All Dr. Seuss books (DUH!) 📚
Favourite Food: Canadian hamburgers and fries (a true classic) 🍔 
Fun Fact: When Maggie’s not teaching, you’ll find her spending time with her two kids or indulging in her love for shopping! 🛍️ 

With 28 years of experience, Maggie has honed her ability to nurture, inspire, and create a positive and engaging environment for young learners. She’s a key part of our team, and we’re so lucky to have her helping our youngest students grow and thrive every day! 💙

  • ☀️ Goodbye boredom. Hello adventure! 💦

#CampVerita2025 is calling—and it’s loud, messy, and wildly fun.

This summer? It’s all about mud pies, splash wars, archery showdowns, edible experiments, and dance moves your kids definitely didn’t learn from you.

We’re talking:
🎨 Paint under your fingernails
🏹 Sports like archery & fencing
🍳 Master Chef chaos in the kitchen
🎭 Dance-offs + pottery + mini tennis madness
🎬 Movie chill zones and laugh-till-you-snort moments

It’s not just camp. It’s a summer reset—for kids and grown-ups.

Zero screens. Maximum joy. Limited spots.

These spots are melting faster than ice cream in July—hit that link in bio before it’s game over.

  • Volleyball? Yep. Lacrosse? Absolutely. Baseball? Of course. At Verita, PE is a space to try, move, explore, and build confidence in ways that go way beyond the basics! 

Led by Yannis Kostikiadis, our brilliant Director of Physical Education; the program is all about mixing high-quality coaching with unexpected sports and serious fun. Think less “run laps” and more “discover what you're good at.” We’re bringing variety and intention to every warm-up, every drill, every team game because physical education should be just as dynamic as the students we teach.

  • No desks. No screens. Just leaves, laughter, and little explorers on a mission.
Year 1 stepped out of the classroom and into the Athens Botanical Gardens, where learning bloomed in every direction.

They wandered winding paths, uncovered hidden wonders, and explored the biodiversity of one of Athens’ most peaceful green spaces. But the adventure didn’t stop there!

Each student also had the chance to plant and care for their very own seedling, learning firsthand what growth and responsibility look like from the ground up. They practiced observation, teamwork, and wonder with the natural world as both teacher and playground.

📚 Research shows that outdoor learning boosts focus, creativity, and emotional balance especially in early childhood.
🌿 Fun fact: The Botanical Gardens house hundreds of native and medicinal plants once used in ancient Greek remedies.

This wasn’t a break from learning... It was learning, rewilded.
