Dukes Education has further expanded its fast-growing family of schools with Mandoulides Schools in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Mandoulides is a co-educational, all through K-12 school and complements Dukes Education’s existing school in Greece, the International School of Athens, and adds to the Dukes presence in the UK, Croatia, Czechia, Ireland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Switzerland.
The partnership with Dukes Education opens up an array of benefits for the Mandoulides community that includes access to a global talent pool of exceptional educators, opportunities for student and teacher exchanges, and a platform for sharing best practice on an international scale. The collaboration offers Mandoulides students and staff unprecedented learning and development opportunities.
Mandoulides Schools was founded in 1978 by Evangelos Mantoulidis as a Kindergarten-Elementary School to provide a modern Greek education with a European dimension. A Junior-Senior High School opened in 1991 and soon after, Mandoulides’ students began to gain places at the world’s top universities. The tradition of strong academic achievement remains at the school’s core, along with the pillars of excellence, innovation, culture and sport.
Founder and Chairman of Dukes Education, Aatif Hassan, whose passion for the transformational power of education, and whose commitment to educational quality and student wellbeing is at the heart of the Dukes Education ethos, said: “Mandoulides’ mission is to prepare students for the future through their pursuit of excellence and innovative curriculum, a mission that accords strongly with Dukes Education, the organisation I founded ten years ago. The strong focus on high academic standards, sport and wide-ranging cultural opportunities make it an excellent fit with the wider Dukes family. We extend a very warm welcome to the parents, students and staff of Mandoulides.”
President of Mandoulides Schools, Aikaterini Mantoulidou, said, “Joining this prestigious educational group is a very significant moment for Mandoulides Schools. Our partnership marks a significant step forward in our mission to continually elevate the quality of education we offer to the community of Thessaloniki.”
