Pierce — The American College of Greece

Private school, ages 3 to 18 · Agia Paraskevi

The school half of the American College of Greece, on one campus with the university. The clearest continuous route from three to a degree without leaving the site.

Pierce is the school of the American College of Greece at Agia Paraskevi, teaching from three to eighteen on the same campus as Deree, the college’s university.

One campus, fifteen years

Almost every other choice on this list ends at eighteen with an application somewhere else. Here the next step is on the same site, taught in English, and recognised in both the Greek and the American systems.

That does not make it the right answer. It makes it the only one on this list where the question of what happens after school has a default rather than a decision.
