An International, Future-Focused IB World School
Located in the dynamic heart of the Athenian Riviera, Interactive European School–DES is a coeducational day school offering a continuous educational journey from Early Years through to High School. As an IB World School, DES is committed to inquiry-based, student-centred learning that encourages curiosity, intercultural understanding, and academic excellence.
With students from 23 different nationalities, DES is a genuinely international community. Our interactive learning environment places student voice and active participation at the core, fostering confidence, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility in every learner.
The Ideals in our school
As a member of the Round Square family, DES is proud to embrace the IDEALS of Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service. These values are already deeply rooted in our culture and are reflected in our approach to education.
We actively promote student voice across all year levels, cultivating democratic values and mutual respect. Environmental awareness and sustainability are integrated into learning and action, while adventure is encouraged through outdoor education, school trips, and hands-on experiences.
Leadership is nurtured from the early years through student councils, initiatives, and projects, while service is a key element of school life – giving students meaningful opportunities to engage with both local and global communities.
What being a Round Square school means to us
We are delighted to have been accepted as a candidate school for Round Square and look forward to becoming an active and contributing member of this inspiring international network.
Being part of Round Square allows us to connect with schools around the world, share what it means to grow up in one of Europe’s most historic and diverse cities, and work together on global challenges. As an IB World School, this partnership is a natural
extension of our mission to foster internationally-minded, compassionate, and proactive young people.
We are excited to take the following steps on this journey and to contribute meaningfully to the Round Square community.
