The Paideia Institute

The Paideia Institute for Humanistic Study is a non-profit organization whose aim is to help students form a connection with the classical humanities through in-person learning.

Living Greek in Greece High School is a mind-expanding experience that begins in Athens, then moves in the second week to Nafplio, in the Peloponnese. Paideia's in-residence program takes place over two weeks in July. All high school students are eligible for the program, even those with no prior Greek language experience.

This fascinating program introduces students to the Greek classics. It also offers enriching cultural activities to practice the current language, such as in music, modern literature, cuisine, and more.

Classroom sessions are balanced by field trips, where learning takes place in the open air at archeological sites and other cultural monuments. When teens have the opportunity to travel to historic areas and see how the ancient Greek language is still alive today, learning becomes exciting.
