Platon Schools

Platon is a school with future perspective. The school pursues with great interest and a creative mind the developments in the field of education; it constantly sets new goals holding at the same time an outstanding position in the educational scene.

Platon schools (Kindergarten – Primary – Secondary – Lifelong Learning Centre) is a modern educational institution with 650 learners and 120 staff. Through the use of the most up-to-date facilities, a diverse curriculum, experienced and skilled teaching staff and, most importantly, through consistency on principles and respect towards pupils and parents, our school has been struggling during the last ten years for the accomplished education of our pupils.

Through the newly founded Research and Innovation Department the participation of Platon in international programs of design, implementation and assessment of innovative pedagogical methods and materials is pursued. The Centre of Research and Innovation actively involves itself in the design of advanced educational materials, both conventional and electronic. The main aim is the exploitation of state-of-the-art technologies in the education process so as to enhance teaching and learning. The tools developed within the framework of educational programmes are the result of cooperation and joint efforts amongst specialists from a variety of academic fields, with a major focus on information technology, teaching and learning studies.

Over the past years Platon Schools participated to a number of Open Science projects, using educational technology and implemented them in classrooms. Also innovative teaching methods and pedagogics are used in a daily basis in order to give to our students something more than the traditional teaching routine.

The directorate of Secondary Education is responsible for the supervision, monitoring, coordination and guiding the operation of schools in Pieria District. They will be our direct contact to all local secondary schools in order to disseminate the outcomes of the project but also to urge other schools to implement activities related to the project.
