Our school …

The history of the 1^st Experimental Unified Lyceum of Athens, “Gennadio”, coincides chronologically with the first pages of history of independence of Greece.

• In 1827 the National Assembly named Ioannis Kapodistrias as the first Governor of Greece for a period of seven years.

• Ioannis Kapodistrias invested himself seriously into Public Education. In 1828 he founded the “Central School” in Egina, a school for the first teachers to be in the newly established Greek State.

• This Central School under the direction of important and famous teachers, like Gennadios, was flourishing up to the year 1831, when Kapodistrias was assassinated. After the assassination and the transfer of the capital of the Greek State into Athens, the Central School along with its valuable bibliotheque were settled into the house of Kleanthis in Plaka in 1935, where a year later the Athens University was established, nowadays called the “Old University”.

• In 1838 the Central School stopped functioning as a school for teachers only and became a normal school of the primary and secondary education under the name of “Greek School” and the direction of George Gennadios, The Greek School and its famous bibliotheque move constantly within the area of Plaka and the school changes its status according to the educational necessities and reforms of the times.
