You can support the vision and mission of Anatolia College by giving to one of the following causes:

Special campaign for 2023-24

Upgrading Middle School/High School classrooms

Improving the layout and functionality of the learning environment is now more important than ever. The classroom is a living, changing system that significantly affects communication, skill development and the learning process. Creating modern school spaces enables students to be more productive and creative and feel safe, and gives teachers the ability to transfer knowledge following new educational approaches, which promote teamwork and interaction.

In this context, we have already carried out a first technological upgrade in all the classrooms, while the gradual change of all the window frames is also underway, thus ensuring better insulation. At the same time, in our effort to strengthen the good psycho-physical condition of our students, the children themselves expressed the need to replace the mobile equipment of the classrooms (desks and chairs).

Thus, we set as our immediate priority the gradual upgrading of classrooms in Gymnasiums/High Schools. Thanks to the new mobile equipment -(desks/chairs) that we have already installed in some of the Gymnasium/High School classrooms:

• Better anatomical support is achieved
• Students of all body types can sit more comfortably
• The possibility of moving and combining desks is offered (group arrangement per four students), while encouraging the development of cooperation skills
• Color is added to the classrooms, which especially helps the positive mood of the students
• Students are given the opportunity to feel responsible and to respect even more the space in which they learn

Supporting the Middle/High School Classroom Upgrade Campaign you can:

• Ηonor a favorite professor or classmate
• Make your class (graduation year) part of the Anatolia College donor community
• Offer our students a school environment with increased mobility, practicality and functionality

Anatolia College Scholarship Program

Anatolia College's identity and heritage are inextricably linked to its commitment to providing gifted students with limited financial means with scholarship assistance. During the school's early years in Asia Minor, about a third of the student body participated in work-study programs designed to provide them with financial support in exchange for one hour of work per week. Today, approximately 26% of middle and high school students receive need-based scholarships or financial aid.

By supporting the Anatolia College Scholarship Program, you are offering deserving children with limited financial means the opportunity to experience the transformative experience of attending Anatolia College, allowing them to expand their horizons, find their passion, excel academically and achieve their maximum potential as individuals.

CTY Greece

The Center for Talented Youth of Anatolia College is the result of the strategic cooperation of three organizations with a long tradition in education and service to society.

It was created in 2013 with the founding donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and with the expertise in training students with high academic abilities of the Center for Talented Youth of Johns Hopkins University, USA.

It offers students from all over Greece, Cyprus and the world the opportunity to develop their potential to the fullest through specially designed extracurricular programs that meet their unique learning and knowledge needs.

One of the defining values of CTY at Anatolia is the  Greece is the CTY Greece Scholarship Program, through which talented students who do not have the financial resources to attend the program, can participate in it completely free of charge. Both the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and Anatolia College deeply believe in the merits of an extensive scholarship program to ensure maximum benefit to Greece and its youth.

The participants come from rural areas that do not have the academic infrastructure of urban cities, thus making CTY Greece one of the few opportunities that these children will have, in order to be able to participate in an extracurricular program of high level. By supporting the CTY Greece Scholarship Program, you offer talented children the opportunity to experience the transformative power of a unique education.

Support STEAM student groups

Anatolia College has a long tradition in science and innovative STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) learning methods. According to modern educational approaches, learning is much more effective when it is done in a creative and exploratory way and when it is adapted to the pace and the particular needs of each student. The acquisition of knowledge cannot be a passive process, but must be interactive and able to help students develop necessary skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and effective communication.

The Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center of Anatolia College aims to support every student in our educational organization to develop 21st century STEM skills, encouraging them to discover innovative scientific fields and engage in meaningful individual or group activities. The priority of the Center is the participation of students in actions and projects aimed at cultivating technological literacy (activities related to automation or robotics) and in green education actions, i.e. actions aimed at raising the awareness of male and female students around environmental issues and in shaping the right attitudes and behaviors, which can contribute to a sustainable future.

Some of the competitions, in which our children actively and successfully participate, and which require finding additional resources are the following:

• The F1 in Schools competition is the largest STEM education program in the world, combining diverse fields such as engineering and marketing. Specifically, the F1 in Schools teams are asked to design an F1 car with a CAD program, study and test the aerodynamics of the car with a CFD program, manufacture the car from polyurethane through CNC, and other media (such as PLA and resin from 3D printers ), execute and present a comprehensive marketing strategy, prepare a ten-minute oral team presentation, gather the necessary resources to implement the project and prepare competition deliverables (e.g. Entrepreneurship, Project Management and engineering). In addition, this competition gives students the opportunity to develop a team spirit of cooperation, which is a very important driving force in our modern and demanding era.

• The iGEM Foundation (International Genetically Engineered Machine) is an independent and non-profit organization that aims to advance synthetic biology, education and competition, but also to develop an open and collaborative community that promotes good sportsmanship. The iGEM competition gives students the opportunity to overcome the limits of synthetic biology, dealing with everyday issues of the modern world.

Anatolia College has always relied on the generosity of its donors to make a difference. Even today, in this new venture, we need ardent supporters, as well as fellow travelers.

Don't forget that together we make a difference!
