Akademeia High School was founded on progressive ideals that grew out of an acute awareness of the shortcomings of traditional educational models and curricula. These shortcomings included a narrow choice of related subjects. And so one of our ideals that grew out of that is an interdisciplinary approach to education and self-knowledge.
With a view to broaden student horizons and the means by which they might know themselves, AHS offers more than 50 co-curricular courses. This range reflects the multidisciplinary interests and expertise of the faculty and includes such unique courses as Global Development and Law through Debate, Coding, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Aviation, Public and Cultural Diplomacy, Drama, and Creative Writing. Courses are often run at different levels, allowing students to try new things or further practice existing skills.
At Akademeia, we also strive to cultivate a keen social awareness in all our students.
To this end, we offer a diverse range of activities in which students can participate. These include lectures delivered by renowned academics and our teachers (i.a. Akademeia Seminars and Open Faculty Lectures), outdoor art workshops, long term participation in start-up projects run by established business leaders, excursions to sites of cultural significance, internships, and voluntary service.
These activities help our students develop a lasting interest in the world around them and offer engagement with practical life situations to which they can apply their growing knowledge. They also learn and practice teamwork, communication skills, and other soft skill prerequisites for success in the 21st century.
