our vision

Who we are Who we are Skouras Language schoolsSkouras Language School was established in 1976, with

the aim of providing high quality educational pro-

grammes for students of all ages. Since then we have

been operating 6 foreign language centres in Northern

Greece all ensuring high quality learning experience for

our students.

The excellence of our educational services has propelled

our company to the forefront of the sector, with courses

combining cutting edge teaching methods, innovative

technologies, and the best foreign language books, for

students aged 4 through to adulthood.

Skouras Sports and Language Camp Skouras Sports and Language Camp is located in the vil-

lage of Nees Fokies in Chalkidiki, one of the most fa-

mous summer resorts in Northern Greece. The camp has

been operating since 1986 and thousands of children

have had so far, a unique lifetime experience visiting

us. We offer unforgettable summer holidays to children

and teens aged 6 through adulthood, combining edu-

cation and entertainment in a very well organised pro-

gramme that includes many daily activities, games and

sports that kids enjoy. And all that in an area full of

sunshine, crystal waters (5 min. walk to the beach) in

the middle of a forest of pine-trees.


Our People

Director of studiesChristos Skouras is our Director of

studies. He has a 35 year experience

in teaching and managing Foreign

Language Schools. Mr. Skouras is the overall re-

sponsible for the implementation and adminis-

tration of all aspects of the academic

programme, including the management of the

teaching team and their performance.

Teachers Our English summer school follows a modern

communicative approach of teaching English,

which emphasizes learning through the situa-

tional method (activities, games, theatre etc.).

This ensures that lessons are student-centred and

highly interactive. Students have lots of oppor-

tunity to practice speaking when learning gram-

mar points, or having written tasks.

All our teachers are highly qualified and most of

them are native English speakers.

Sports Activity CoachesOur trainers are highly qualified athletes and

certified coaches. Most of them come from dif-

ferent countries of the world which ensures the

multicultural experience of our campers. They

are responsible for the safety of the children but

also to motivate them to actively practice.

cial talents to contribute to the group.
