The IB Diploma Programme educational model is represented with a circular design, emphasising its holistic and integrated nature. The model is built around the learner profile, a set of attributes that schools aim to develop in pupils using student-centered, independent approaches to teaching and learning. All Diploma candidates are expected to fulfill three core and interlinked requirements: to follow classes on Theory of Knowledge, to complete a research paper known as the Extended Essay and to demonstrate engagement with Creativity-Action-Service. Moving outwards the model shows six areas of knowledge: students must choose to study one subject from each one of these areas, three at Higher Level (240 tuition hours) and another three at Standard Level (150 tuition hours). The model is enclosed by international mindedness, a central principle of the IBDP philosophy."
Diploma candidates are required to select one subject from each of the six groups. At least three have to be taken at higher level (a minimum of 240 teaching hours) and the others at standard level (min. 150 hours). To obtain an IB diploma a student must also fulfil the three core requirements: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay and CAS.
For most Anatolia & Pinewood students it is English or Greek. Other languages may also be offered to students with a different mother tongue. In this case Anatolia & Pinewood appoint and supervise an external instructor who teaches the course on a private basis (charged extra). If no suitable instructor is available, a student may take this subject as a Self-taught candidate.
All Diploma candidates have to take a second modern language at a level, which, depending on their previous exposure to that language, may be either at level A as above, if they are highly competent, or B, if they have some previous experience in the language, or ab initio for beginners.
As core values, Anatolia and Pinewood aspire to cultivate in our students the intrinsic drive and essential qualities required to evolve into principled and responsible global citizens. Moreover, our shared mission is to nurture them as active, critical thinkers, and open-minded lifelong learners.
Founded in 1886, Anatolia has long been considered one of the most distinguished educational institutions in Greece. Simultaneously, Pinewood, established in 1950, has successfully served the international community in northern Greece for three-quarters of a century. Authorized to offer the IBDP since 1997 and 1999, respectively, each school has extensive experience in IBDP program delivery, expert support for academic and university counseling, and current initiatives to promote student wellbeing.
At the heart of our collaboration is the shared commitment to fostering an academically challenging international learning environment through one unified IB Diploma Program for students, faculty, and administration spanning Grades 11-12. This represents a milestone in educational innovation, bringing together the rich legacies and diverse strengths of both schools. By combining the resources and expertise into the Anatolia-Pinewood IBDP, we have created a unique academic ecosystem that creates a number of advantages for students.
International Composition: The Anatolia-Pinewood IBDP enriches the student body with a mosaic of cultures and prepares students for success in an interconnected, global world.
Recognizing the importance of personalized attention, our schedule is built around separate Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL) classes in numerous subjects. This approach allows for tailored instruction to address the specific needs of each level.
In our unified program, a broader range of subjects is offered, providing students with additional course options to align with their academic interests. This also includes more secure offerings for traditionally low enrollment courses.
A maximum of 15 students per class ensures that appropriate teaching and learning strategies can be effectively developed.
In addition to the advantages of our unified IBDP, we maintain excellence through the educational characteristics for which Anatolia and Pinewood have always been known.
The school’s scholarship program (approx $100,000 for DP students) ensures that worthy Greek and international students, regardless of financial circumstance, may enroll in the Anatolia & Pinewood IBDP, either as day students or in our long-standing boarding school.
IBDP faculty, Greek and international, have substantial IBDP teaching experience within the program. Through regular participation in IB workshops, each faculty member is dedicated to staying current with educational research. Many faculty members serve as IB external examiners or in various capacities, including some who have earned university awards for outstanding teaching.
Anatolia & Pinewood university advisors guide students to connect the dots between their academic interests and extracurricular profile, finding common ground between each student’s personal purpose and vision. Their methods are strategic, enabling students to independently identify which institutions are a good fit for them academically, personally and financially. The advisors maintain a student-centered advising approach, instilling a confidence in students to make the best decisions for their futures. The school’s placement lists, including the financial aid awarded to Anatolia & Pinewood graduates demonstrates the expertise and success of the advising process.
Situated on a picturesque 45-acre campus, stunning natural surroundings are enjoyed in all directions. The campus features state-of-the-art facilities designed specifically for the IBDP, a student residence hall, two modern libraries, well-equipped science and computing laboratories, two theatres, communal spaces for dining and socializing, and a multi use gymnasium.
Our extracurricular program allows Anatolia-Pinewood IBDP students to make new friends, become members of the Anatolia-Pinewood community, and discover or develop their talents through an impressive range of activities.
The Anatolia-Pinewood IBDP represents a shared vision and commitment to providing a transformative educational experience for our students. Join us in shaping the next generation of principled, responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.
MoreOur programs focus on what has been missing in Greek education - vanguard lab research as well as actively exploring major concepts, ideas, and theories that address life’s big questions –and how we are practically addressing these issues.
