Pentapolis Upper Highschool

Pentapolis Upper Highschool is located in the region of Serres in Central Macedonia, more specifically in the Municipality of Emmanouil Pappa (population 21.000 inhabitants). It addresses the inhabitants of 8 neighboring villages. The student population consists of 43 boys and 43 girls from rural families and a number of 9 foreign students (10%), economic migrants from neighboring countries and students with learning disabilities identified. The staff of the school consists of 17 teachers, of various disciplines, 11 of which are permanently placed here and have a high level of qualification, such as postgraduate degrees, second degrees, educational training at the Ministry of Education (on teaching methodology, pedagogy and management) or ICT training in other institutions. The purpose of the school is twofold, and has been shaped in accordance with the Ministry of Education specifications and the Vision of the Teachers (Act 2, 7-9-2012): 1. On one hand to develop students’ intellectual, social and emotional potential. 2. On the other hand to prepare for the national examinations so as to pursue a place in the higher education institutions and later in the professional field. The financial resources of the school are very limited, but with rational management they meet the needs of the school and with the good cooperation with the local community (Parents and Guardians’ Association and the Municipality) we have been given the opportunity in the last three years to create a School Library and a Research Hall in previously unused spaces in the building, as well as to embellish the school premises, hosting a permanent exhibition of a local painter. The school has extensive experience in European eTwinning programs in English, in international networks such as UNESCO - ASPnet and Junior Entrepreneurship (Junior Achievement). It seeks to develop a culture of co-operation, especially in the context of larger school units, in both student competitions and teacher training activities.
