Humanities investigate how we understand and interpret our experiences as human beings: who we are and how we relate to one another.

At Akademeia High School, all the humanities subjects work closely together to provide our students with broad interdisciplinary frameworks of how past societies developed and how they influenced the contemporary world.

Students are encouraged to examine past events and cultural developments from a number of perspectives: History, English and World Literature, Philosophy, Religious Studies, History of Art and Visual Culture.

We would like our students to perceive Mathematics not only as a school subject, but also as a tool for solving problems.

Through the analysis of a given subject by applying the principles and rules of Mathematics, we are able to solve problems of calculation and geometry, as well as the tasks of logic, economics, and issues in many areas of everyday life.

The Social Sciences Department was created in order to provide students with a good background in various social sciences, with a particular focus on Economics, Politics, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology.

The aim of the department is to prepare students to continue their educational and professional journeys, with potential final destinations in Law, Economics, Management, Political Sciences, Psychology, and many other fields.

The Department of Natural Sciences teaches the fundamentals of three disciplines: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

In reality, all of these subjects are intimately intertwined, and our teaching reflects this. Each subject borrows from the other ones and, thanks to this unique interdisciplinary approach, our students are able to appreciate more deeply the intricacies and complexities of natural phenomena.

Project-based learning and the critical development of ideas are at the heart of the Creative & Performing Arts curricula.

Students learn to develop their ideas conceptually through research and exploration of a wide range of media and techniques. Workshops and extended projects with leading art and design practitioners and educators strengthen our students’ artistic independence and introduce them to the latest developments in the field. Our A Level curricula in Photography, Fine Art, 3D Design, Music and Drama prepare our students for the most prestigious art, architecture, and design programmes around the world. 

The aims of Modern Languages Department are to provide students with the knowledge and the ability to communicate in a foreign language and to see a language as a real lifelong process of getting to know a new culture, a new perspective, and a new mindset.

At Akademeia High School foreign languages are offered at both iGCSE and A level, including French, Italian, German, Spanish and Russian.
