Greek Secondary School of London in its own words
In its own words: "The Education Office at the Greek Embassy in London is a department of the Ministry of Education in Greece. It coordinates, administrates and supervises the Greek Language Education in Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. The Head of the Education Office serves as the proprietor for the Greek Secondary School of London."
From the headteacher's welcome: "“Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.” The opportunity that we, teachers, have to become a bridge to the world for young people is an exceptional privilege and an exceptional responsibility."
