We are proud to unfold our adventurous, creative and magical journey which brought us to this impressive Koropi Campus where we celebrate our 40 years of operation

NORTHERN JOURNEY: The School did not pop up in 1980, the year of our foundation, looking as we do today. We started in Paleo Psychico, Filothei, Halandri,
occupying five different buildings that were necessary to house our constantly increasing pupil body, as our growth rate was phenomenal. To accommodate a number of non Athens resident pupils, we also ran a boarding house at Hotel Frini in Kifissia.

September 1984 finds the School in Gargitos in a purpose–built school building. We have left Paleo Psychiko and Halandri, but we still keep Filothei.

SOUTHERN JOURNEY: In September 1981, the School opened a branch in Hellinikon, naming it “L1” i.e. Lawrence One. The success was instant and in the years that followed new buildings were added, one after the other, in the area to accommodate the pupil body -three of which were built by us. Again the need to accommodate a number of boarders was covered by running a small villa in the area as a boarding house.

As time went on, the Board of Governors realized the   need to bring together the North and the South and
so the three component schools, Filothei, Gargitos, Hellinikon, merged in Hellinikon in September 1987.

A new beginning was made in Hellinikon. An impressive success story both in numbers and particularly in academic achievements follows bringing the buildings to the staggering number of eleven, “L11” i.e. Lawrence Eleven.

In the summer of 2004 the time had come to move again.

So “Farewell Hellinikon”, “Good Morning Koropi” and the gate of our impressive Koropi Campus opens in September 2004.

To sum up this building/geographical journey, we have worked out of 17 buildings, two boarding houses, in six suburbs before reaching our present beautiful home – the Koropi Campus.

Summer SCHOOL: The St. Lawrence College Summer School has been taking place as follows:

-Alexander Beach Hotel, Arachovitika, Peloponnese, 

  Summer 1982

- Tolo Camping, Nafplio, Peloponnese, Summer 1983-1989

- Hellinikon Campus, Summer 1994-2004

- Koropi Campus, Summer 2005 – Present  

Our School has come such a long way and it is in the hands of people, teachers and administrative staff, who will continue to nurture it as the safe educational oasis that it is.

On Monday 13^th May 2019, our intrepid little explorers from FS1 and FS2 headed off to the fire station in Hellinikon. This was an important element of real life learning for their unit of study entitled, “People Who Help Us.” Such an experience was very engaging for the children as they experienced so many different sights and sounds from the moment they walked through the door! They got to meet the fire fighters themselves, they learned basic safety rules and they even got the chance to sit behind the wheel of a real fire engine!

The School is situated in an ideal geographic location. It is close to the southern suburbs and easily accessible via the main motorway, Attiki Odos, which connects the airport region where we are located, to the northern and western suburbs of Athens. We offer a comprehensive bus service to most areas of Athens and Pireaus. The cost of this service is specified in the accompanying transportation document.

Our fleet comprises various types of buses, all of which are fully air-conditioned, with comfortable, safe seating. Our manned bus drivers are fully qualified and children are assisted by capable, experienced bus monitors. Our scheduled bus routes are designed to accommodate pupils’ transport needs and take them as close as possible to their places of residence, so as to ensure minimal travel time for children.
