What we like about the school
- Small class sizes
- Rooftop terrace
Location: The school is situated in the centre of Athens, in a student area, next to the Park of Pedion Areos, the Athens University of Economics and Business, the Victoria Square and the Exarchia Square, a lively “anarchist” square, full of cafeterias, bars, and taverns.
Getting around: The Biktoria station is a 2-minute walk away from the school building. This subway station has the M1 line running through it, which goes through the centre of the city and down to the coast. The central train station in Athens is 20 minutes by foot from Hellenic Language School Alexander the Great, making transportation in and out of the city easily accessible.
Visiting the sights in Athens: The majority of the central features of Athens are all within a 40-minute walking radius of the school and easily reachable by the transportation options nearby. The centre of the city, which is home to attractions including the Acropolis of Athens, Parthenon and Ancient Agora of Athens, is a 40 minute walk from the school. Another option would be 15 minutes via the subway service. The National Archaeological Museum is just down the road from the school.
Greek language courses: The school has a variety of general Greek courses for individual students or for students wanting to join group classes. There is a business Greek course for those looking to further their career by learning the Greek language in their specific field. A teacher training course is also available on specific dates throughout the year.
Cultural courses: Hellenic Language School Alexander the Great has a large number of topics that students can learn about the history and culture of the country whilst also improving their knowledge of the Greek language.
School chain: Hellenic Language Schools are part of the Life Long Training Center 4E Education and training group. They currently have several schools in Greece, including on the Greek island of Crete. For over 45 years, the Hellenic Language Schools have been teaching Greek Language and Culture to non-natives.

“Friendly and approachable director and secretary. Demanding but good teacher, who spoke perfect English (C2 level), so we could solve Greek problems easily.”
“Still no results or diploma more than 3 days after leaving school. However, I had been promised an ad hoc e-mail by the headmaster for today (Monday). The first day of lessons also went wrong because of an error by the secretary, for which I think the headmaster is at least politically responsible. Problems with organisation last year too.”
Insider tip: “Sounio, Egina, Loukabittos hill (sunset), interesting districts like Piraeus, Kefisia, easily accessible by metro, and swimming in Kallimaki or Petro Rafti (a bit of searching by public transport).”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Good programme, very informative, tailored to the student. Too few extra activities (only 1 lecture on 200 years of Greek independence and 1 dinner on the last evening).
Other comments: Limitations seen in Corona over the last 2 years. Organisation sometimes leaves much to be desired (see other comments).

“Leaders, teachers and the positive environment are outstanding! The location in the center is perfect.”
“The price is relatively high, but still reasonable.”
Other comments: Due to the personality of the headmaster, among other things, the learning effect goes far beyond the normal level of a language school. Culture and history are conveyed almost casually and in a highly authentic manner.

“Very solid with a caring director and secretary. Also teachers who gave the best of themselves. The afternoon conversation was also very instructive to learn simple Greek and to support each other.”
Insider tip: “Beautiful museums, including the lesser known, such as folk instruments and ancient technology. Also a lot of ordinary monuments. Trips to Sounion and the sea (Portarafti) are worthwhile.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Good functioning of director and management. Excellent teacher, but a little too little attention to the auditory (my weak point) and too many difficult texts with lots of words to look up.
Other comments: No.

“The staff is very friendly and answer all questions. The extra-linguistic program was interesting (the manager is an excellent historian, and can explain a lot ..). Nice Christmas Party with delicious pastries and wine .. Especially I liked the dance class, two times! The lessons (I had two teachers, individual and group lessons) depend a lot on the person. The group lessons were very teacher- and frontal orientated. The use of different media and playful interactive approaches (also between the participants) are hardly available. But that seems to be a general problem in Greece ...”
Insider tip: “Be sure to join the extra program! In Athens itself, Niarchos Center is an architectural highlight, the Kykladishe Museum, small but magnificent archaic sculptures! For jazz fans: Half Note Jazz Club! Cultural program (dance, music, exhibitions): Onassis cultural center! The Musical Instruments Museum, with ancient instruments and music examples/videos regarding the music history on mainland and islands.”
Other comments: See above. The lessons could be more "easy-going". The teachers are, especially in one-to-one lessons, open-minded, if you suggest something. So encourage future participants to voice their opinions, suggestions or criticisms on site! The more students do that, the more likely it is that something will change.

“I was only there for 3 days, I had very good private lessons, 3 hours every day for 3 consecutive days, they systematically deepened the grammar, which has brought me a big leap forward. Friday was a poetry event, all students read a poem, was also stimulating.”
Insider tip: “You should certainly go to school longer. I go weekly in Switzerland in each case a double lesson, so a targeted deepening is also useful, even if it is only a week.”
Other comments: nice and smart director, good teachers, in Athens you can of course see and do a lot; am sure if you go to school there longer you can benefit a lot more.
