Brunch is offered between 09:00-10:15 with organic fruits & vegetables, freshly squeezed juice and some protein (cheese, yogurt, free range eggs). Sweets are not allowed. Carbs are offered in moderation, mainly in-house baked bread made by the children of the 3-6 classrooms. Packaged foods are avoided.
Lunch sent from home, following a meal plan suggested by the school (meat, fish, legumes, chicken, vegetable dish). Lunch is a social time that helps children learn table manners, eat and be exposed to a variety of foods, learning how to respect the people sitting next to them. Children learn to eat solid foods, gradually using a fork and a spoon, as well as to drink liquids from a free-flowing glass.

We'll be happy to answer any questions

School bus service. We provide a choice of school bus for the safe transportation of children to and from school, with an experienced driver and escort. The safety of our students is paramount, and therefore buses collect and leave children at the closest possible point.
Catering by Chef John. We provide the option for catering at the school. We work with Chef Yiannis who brings freshly cooked food based on traditional Greek cuisine to the school every day, following a variety of balanced diets (meat, fish, legumes, chicken, vegetable dish, or adapted to each family's specific diet such as vegan, pescetarian, or allergy friendly) and served in stainless steel bowls with no ecological footprint, accompanied by a salad. Tried and tested and very cared for in terms of its raw materials!!
