The Aberdeen Hellenic School commenced the first year of its operation on 3rd of November 2019. It is under the umbrella of Aberdeen Scottish Hellenic Society (a registered charity) but it is self operated.

The school runs by a Parents Committee which has a very good co-operation and are always in contact to discuss, organise and provide solutions to any matters that may emerge. The school is based at the premises of Mile End School (Mid Stocket Rd, Aberdeen AB15 5LT) and runs every Sunday morning.

The school runs this year in 4 classes. Classes started 7th of September

A nursery class (2-5 years old) children are engaged in games played in Greek; 

A class with children that started P1 this year and starting learning the Greek Alphabet; 

And 2 classes one intermediate and one advanced (6 -14 years old) where kids are exposed gradually in more advanced Greek and taught of the grammar; We are pleased to let you know that our school will now follow the curriculum designed for schools of the Diaspora. This will help prepare our children for language proficiency exams and support them in obtaining official language certification.

The school staff consists of qualified Greek teachers with a degree in Greek Language Teaching that are also teachers in primary and nursery schools here in Aberdeen. Further, there are assistants that helps the teacher during the class.

Through the academic year the Aberdeen Hellenic School organises some interesting activities.
