Our school’s name – Akademeia – comes from Ancient Greek and refers to the inspiring place near Athens (named after the legendary Athenian hero Akademos), where Plato founded his original Academy in 385 B.C. It was the first institution of higher learning in Europe, a garden surrounded by art, architecture, and nature.

In the ancient world, education resulted from the meeting of great minds and the exchanging of ideas that became great through dialogue, and we share this vision.
