Our Vission

Our aim is to relate to our learners, as children of the Diaspora, who are learning Greek, in a context which is far removed from the Motherland.

We strive to instil in our children, both, a working knowledge & the relevant skills in the correct use of the Greek language , as well as, a passion for, and a connection to, the Greek language & culture .

Our desire is to inspire the children to pursue & embrace the Greek Language and Greek culture and its values ,throughout their lives.

Our Mission

To assist families of Greek ancestry & backgrounds to raise bilingual children, starting at an early age, by offering a high quality & developmentally appropriate curriculum.

To provide a learning environment enriched by the teaching of the Greek language , Greek history & Greek culture.

To encourage the preservation of our Greek Ethnic Heritage in this diverse & multicultural South African society.

Support Our School

MySchool is South Africa’s number one community support program and raises over R1.2 million a month for schools and charities. More and more top retailers are choosing the program as a way of providing trackable, transparent and sustainable financial support to education.

Card usage is the key

The success of the system is determined by supporters remembering to use their cards. MySchool signage is displayed at pay points of participating partner stores and websites. Supporters receive a list of current business partners with their card and the information is also available on our website. Remember to use your card to benefit your school.

How the program works

Over 500 00 parents and community minded South Africans carry supporter cards. These cards are swiped every time a purchase is made at one of our retail partners country wide. Each transaction is recorded and a percentage is paid to the school of the supporter’s choice. Personalised and uniquely numbered, the card identifies the holder as being a supporter of a specific school. The card is not a credit/debit card but works as a tracking card to record transaction.
