Highlights

The American College of Greece, founded in 1875, is the oldest and largest independent, American-sponsored school in Europe. It is the only institution in Athens with American accreditation (N.E. Association of Schools and Colleges). Located on a beautiful, wooded hillside in the attractive suburb of Aghia Paraskevi, the College's tree-lined campus offers an ideal setting to study in Greece, with modern classrooms, an extensive and impressive library and Olympic-quality athletic facilities. The College was chosen as the official training site for the 2004 U.S. Olympic team. The summer school offers a wide range of courses. Over 90% of the student body year round is Greek. AIFS students have ample opportunity to make local friends.

To give you a wide-ranging introduction to Greek life and culture, the College and AIFS Resident Director will organize activities both on campus and in Athens and the surrounding area, such as:

- Visits to: The Acropolis, New Acropolis Museum, Mount Lycabettus, The Plaka
- Day trip to the island of Hydra
