Model Experimental School of Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece (ΠΠΣΠΘ)
The Model Experimental School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, is a special public school, in close ties with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The Experimental School provides a suitable place for the students of Pedagogical Studies to do their pre-graduation training on various aspects of education, as well as on teaching and pedagogical methods. They also take the opportunity to actually live the school's own daily life.
The staff consists of teachers with premium qualifications. The lower two levels of the National Education System coexist: an infant school, a primary school and a secondary school.
The Experimental School was founded in 1934. The School was fortunate enough to find home inside an elegant building, designed by the great architect Dimitris Pikionis. A creation that even attracts the interest of modern architects, for its aesthetics and individuality.
Today, the Experimental School, on the one hand, has to face the responsibilities, which come as a consequence of its glorious past. On the other, it aims to look for solutions to a number of many -some of them quite complicated- problems that constantly arise in the present age.
