Moraitis School
The Moraitis School (Greek: Σχολή Μωραΐτη, romanized: Scholi Moraiti) is a co-educational private school in Athens, Greece. It is located in Psychico, a suburb north of the Greek capital. Its teaching aims at university entry.
It is one of the largest private schools in Athens by enrollment, with 1700 students and 240 teachers in kindergarten, primary, middle school and high school.
The school was founded in 1936 by Charles Beregean (Karolos Berzan), a mathematician (there is no source verifying either a degree or any articles in mathematics authored by Beregean), under the name “Standard Lyceum of Athens” (Πρότυπον Λύκειον Αθηνών, Protipon Likion Athinón). It moved to its current location in 1952, when ownership was transferred to Antonis Moraitis – whose name the school has adopted since 1976. After Antonis Moraitis died in 1981, the property and administration of the school were transferred to his daughters: Chrysanthi Moraiti-Kartali (middle and high school) and Katerina Moraiti (primary school, until she died in 1996). Today, the school is run by Chrisanthi Moraiti-Kartali, Giorgos Kasimatis, Antonis Kartalis, and Giorgos Kartalis.
The school proclaims 12 fundamental principles (Dodecalogue, Δωδεκάλογος, Dodekálogos), ranging from religious tolerance to the equivalent of Beckett's "fail again; fail better" premise, as a guide for all its members.
For their final two years, students at Moraitis can follow either the Greek educational curriculum or the International Baccalaureate programme.
About 16% of Moraitis students achieve a grade of more than 19/20 in the Pan-Hellenic Examinations, with about 50% achieving over 17/20. In 2013, the average grade of Moraitis School IB students was 36/45 (compared to a global average of 29), with two students achieving a grade of 45/45 and five 44/45. The average grade for each subject the school offers was higher than the global average.
The school has a good record in teaching foreign languages, with 74% of examined students earning the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (compared to a national average of 50%), 88% of examined students earning the Delf B2 exam in French, 88% earning the Zertifikat B2 exam and 100% the Zertifikat C1 in German.
For mathematics, physics and chemistry, students are split into groups according to their ability in these fields during gymnasium. This approach allows teachers to tailor their lessons accordingly. Moraitis School students have performed exceptionally well in mathematics and physics competitions, with its students earning the top awards for the panhellenic mathematics competition every year. In 2013 it was the first school in Greece in mathematics.
