The 3rd Comprehensive Senior High School of Nea Philadelphia “Miltos Kountouras” has been named after the Athens suburb Nea Philadelphia, where it is located, as well as after the well-known Greek pedagogue Miltos Kountouras.
Our local area, Nea Philadelphia, is inhabited by about 25.000 people. It owes its name to the ancient town ‘Philadelphia’ in Asia Minor where the first inhabitants of Nea Philadelphia came from as fugitives after the destruction of Smyrna (Izmir) in 1922. Miltos Kountouras (1889-1940) fought for the liberalisation of education. His principles are reflected in the demand for free choice of school textbooks, respect to the teacher and the peculiarities of each school environment and each student and, above all, in the emphasis on the pedagogical role of school. Our school was founded in 1984. Τhere are 44 classrooms, 6 laboratories, a centre for science, a centre for career orientation, a library, a gym, an amphitheatre and offices. Among the School Action Programmes that have been carried out at our school are the following:
