The Application Process
Our Standards
Application Requirements
Tutorial-style lessons, advanced instruction, and traditional assignments require committed students. Piraeus Academy seeks candidates who are passionate about our mission and determined to excel.
Our application is not intended to intimidate. Rather than emphasizing on-paper prestige or existing abilities, we assess submitted materials on the basis of personal character, academic investment, and genuine interest. Application materials will be consulted in the creation of initial curriculum proposals.
Prospective students will be invited to apply to Piraeus Academy following an introductory consultation with parents.
