Anavryta Experimental Lyceum

The same complex houses the Anavryta Experimental Gymnasium (Greek: Πειραματικό Γυμνάσιο Αναβρύτων; students aged 13–15) as well.

[1] It was established in 1940, shortly before the beginning of the World War II, as the Anavryta Classical Lyceum.The former Anavryta Classical Lyceum was an elite Greek lyceum (originally a boys-only boarding school) that was established in 1940, shortly before Greece's entry into World War II, in order to provide education to the members of the Greek royal family and notable Athenian families.

After several educational reforms in Greece, the school lost its elitist character in 1976, but continued to have higher admissions standards until the end of the 1980s.

The main goal of the lyceum was to focus on the pursuit of the Hahnian ideals and the study of Greek classics.

Anavryta lost its exclusive character, but remained a school with a solid reputation for academic excellence.

The Anavryta experiment did not end, however, because the merit-based approach was restored in 2013, when the Greek Government made it mandatory for students to pass written examinations.

Students are free to choose from a variety of programmes ("subject groups of interest"), most of which carry out an excursion to another E.U.
