In the school year 2020-21 we are launching our new program BTEC Level 1 Art & Design
It is addressed to students from 14 - 15 years old, who love Art and Design and dream of studying in leading Universities abroad.
Our goal is to teach children to creatively capture their ideas, further elaborating the concept of the sketchbook, to research in depth the work of great artists, to experiment, to cultivate their critical thinking and to develop their sketch and design. In this way, they will be able, with greater comfort and confidence, to attend the courses of BTEC Foundation in Art, Design & Media Practice, GCE Art or IB ART.
Among other things, students will be able to receive the BTEC Level 1 Award certification from the internationally recognized organization Pearson / EDEXCEL. This certification will count when they submit their application for admission to higher education abroad.
We are the only school in Greece that has this innovative program, which in fact, is run only by some colleges and universities in England.
Our new program will take place once a week, in the afternoon, in two consecutive teaching hours, in English.
Those children who attend our preparatory department for International Baccalaureate, the PRE-IB, in the 1st grade of Senior High School, can easily choose BTEC Level 1 in Art & Design for better preparation and adaptation to the needs of IB Art, GCE Art or BTEC.
