Our school is located in Ilion, a suburb in western Athens. The 1st General Lyceum of Ilion was founded on June 30,1962. 28 teachers are teaching all the subjects of general knowledge .280 students are attending the lessons. The school today is exposed to social and economic contradictions and at the same time face new problems with contradictory and incompatible demands.
The staff consists of permanent teachers, so the school year begins without major shortcomings and problems. All teachers have many years of experience in education. The teachers organize and participate in educational and self-training courses seeking to integrate their respective conclusions on their teaching experimentation. There is one teacher with a doctorate, three teachers with a master's degree and several teachers with trainings organized by the Ministry of Education, the European Union and private educational institutions.
We are going through a difficult period. But our school faces with positive thinking and optimism the future of our students. Our school is a place of expression. A place of new ideas and innovative activities. All our students are equal and alike, without separation trace of nationality or religious beliefs.
The School by the spring semester of 2013 collaborates with the School of Philosophy of Athens University participating, in mentoring programs connecting Universities to secondary education.
