International non-profit organization The HOME Project (www.homeproject.org), which offers shelter and work for children and young refugees in Greece, has announced a first of its kind opportunity to grant 18 full-time scholarships for the American Community School (ACS Athens) during the academic year 2018-2019. This was made possible by The Shapiro Foundation (www.theshapirofoundation.org).

ACS Athens is always bursting with pride in its students and this summer the renowned Pre-K to 12 international school based in Halandri, a northern suburb of Athens, Greece, is delighted to announce that two of its students earned perfect 45/45 scores in the 2017 International Baccalaureate® (IB) diploma exams.IB is a non-profit educational foundation offering highly respected programs of international education that develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn, and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Schools must be authorized by the IB organization to offer any of the programs.

An event dedicated to graduates and ACS Athens over 70 years of activity was held last Sunday, at the Loeb Boathouse Hall, located in the heart of world famous Central Park in New York City.
