Athens College is a co-educational independent school in Psychico, Greece, a suburb of Athens. It was established in the 1920s to bring the best of both Greek and American educational systems to Greece. Instruction is in both Greek and English. It is the largest independent school in Europe.


Its 3000 students are divided among two elementary schools, one middle school, and one upper school. Its adult education program enrolls another 2000 students.

Approximately 95% of its graduates go on to university, half abroad.

Athens College is incorporated both in Greece and in New York State and is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization.
