Welcome to Sporty's International School – our second campus from International School of Piraeus. International school of Piraeus was founded in 1922, for Greek and international students. We are ever striving to create an up to date learning environment that cultivates active and open-minded citizens of the world” – Ioannis Dimitrellos – Managing Director
We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach and we base importance on listening to our young learners ideas and interests in order to design an environment that each child can construct their own learning.
Here at Sporty's we provide a challenging dual language program that engages learners to reach their full potential and become global citizens. The key aspect of our bilingual program is each class has both an English and Greek speaking teacher fulltime in the classroom. This enables our learns to truly have the potential to become bilingual.
The environment known as the third teacher is designed by our educators to promote enquiry and collaboration, from vast outdoor space to carefully designed classrooms. Everything is presented to inspire the curious mind, think critically, to take risks and to be creative.
In this room, we help children to build on their ever-increasing independence.
In KG1 we continue to encourage sharing and co-operation and enjoying everyday activities through play.
In KG2 we work towards preparing the children for the transition into kindergarten by promoting self-choice and initiative.
In KG3 we provide both adult and child-led activities each day which are planned as a result of observing each child’s individual interests and needs.

Sporty's is a place full of fun, joy, and imagination, but behind all this is a qualified passionate team who care and value childhood, from our gardener to our cooks and educators we strongly believe in providing a safe and happy environment
Our curriculum is conceptually based, child centered which is taught through projects, which allows each child to enquire into local and global contexts. Our projects are explored using knowledge and skills derived from the following six subject areas:
• Language
• Mathematics
• Social studies
• Science
• Arts
• Physical, social and personal education
At Sporty's we recognize the value of child-led play. Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, physical, cognitive and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development and through play, a child can learn how to interact with the world around them.
Play leads to brain plasticity, adaptability, and creativity. Nothing fires up the brain like play” Stuart Brown MD
At Sporty's we have the facilities for outdoor sports such as swimming, tennis, football, basketball and baby yoga. These sports help our children to explore and develop skills which are considered beneficial throughout their lives. By participating in sports, children are exposed to various mental, social, emotional, physical and educational benefits. Some of these benefits are:
Developing Self-Esteem
Social Skills
Accept Defeat at Times
Maintain Discipline
There’s No I in Team
An atelier is a place of wonder and excitement that invites children to enquire, explore, test out theories, investigate and build. A wide variety of natural and man-made materials are always available for artistic expression. Areas of exploration can include, light, modelling with clay, construction, paints and chalks.
Sportys Library is a hub of learning, reading, research, discussion and collaboration.
Our library empowers all learners to become critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and skilful researchers.
An ideal space, teachers, and administration who are really interested in the development of each child individually. The confirmation comes daily from the very words of my little one (3.5 years old): "Mom, I never want to leave Sporty's!" Thanks, Sporty's
We have three large individual buildings that house our students, each building is equipped with open classrooms, private toilets, and its own outdoor area.
Our outdoor swimming pool is 100 square meters and has a depth of 90cm for our students safety. We have three courts, one for basketball, football and tennis - volley ball.
We have vast outdoor play areas with natural grass, trees, sandpits, and bicycle tracks.
Strong parent, student and educator relationships are key to success, therefore at Sporty's we create opportunities for parents to come into school and take part in our learning process. We also provide parent and child bonding days with trained educators and consultants to help build the attachment between parent and child.
At Sporty's we believe that no matter our age we never stop learning, and we are responsible for providing service and training to our educators and parents. We host regular training days for our educators and we also provide in-house workshops and play sessions for Sporty's parents.
“Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths, and languages, and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture.”
