Aims & Ethos

At Hellenic Academy, we pride ourselves in ensuring the words of our pledge are lived up to in every sense of the word.

The PURPOSE of the Hellenic Schools is to provide an outstanding continuous co-educational learning experience from infancy to early adulthood where each individual pupil can excel in a caring, diverse and forward-thinking environment.

The MISSION of the Hellenic Schools is to provide our pupils with an inspirational life-journey through learning, allowing each child to develop personally through a world-class educational experience which fully and equally embraces a well-rounded curriculum of academics, culture, sport and pastoral growth.

The VISION of the Hellenic Schools is to nurture every pupil to live with integrity, compassion and a sense of responsibility as a world citizen having completed a journey of educational excellence. Central to this vision is the Greek term Philotimo – to “Live with Honour.”

‘Believe you can and you are half way there’, a quote from Theodore Roosevelt, perfectly sums up how our pupils are taught to set goals and go about achieving them.

Hellenic aims and ethos

Chayanne Chiringah (U6 2021)

What makes a school like Hellenic have such reputable character?

Is it the buildings, the headmaster/headmistress, is it the amount trophy’s it has on display, the teachers, the students or a combination of all these factors?

Hellenic Academy has managed to successfully create generations of tradition, as well as an enriched culture, over a span of just 12 years. Greek culture and school pride have converged to create a school ethos that is full of spirit, community, and liveliness.

Being at Hellenic Academy has been a decision I have never regretted. Its culture is like no other.

As the Blue and White family we are not average but we are excellent. Always seeking improvement in all aspects and disciplines while upholding to the highest standards. I can say I’m truly blessed to be part of the Hellenic Academy family.
