Inspired, the leading global group of premium schools which delivers an outstanding holistic education to students around the world, announces its partnership with Costeas-Geitonas School (CGS), Greece. CGS, founded in 1973, is one of the oldest and most prestigious Greek private schools, located in Pallini, a northern suburb of Athens on a state-of-the-art 67,000m2 campus. 

This agreement supports Inspired’s strategic ambitions to continue building the world’s leading group of premium schools. CGS is known for innovation in teaching and learning and with the support of Inspired group’s global best practices, will help the school and its community continue to grow and develop. By partnering with the best possible schools in Greece, Inspired is committed to growing its community as well as investing in a country that is rapidly growing in significance. 

The agreement also includes ambitious future expansion plans with the development of a premium school at The Ellinikon, a landmark development project located in the former International Airport in Athens, Greece. The Ellinikon is committed to redefine the cityscape with a 6,200 acres mixed-use project blending innovation, sustainability and culture to create a vibrant, forward-thinking urban experience. The Ellinikon will be the ideal position for a premium, world-leading global school. 

Nadim M Nsouli, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Inspired, commented, “Inspired Education is comprised of the best schools in the world, and we are proud to welcome CGS to the group. CGS offers an outstanding, innovative education and environment for students, who will now be able to benefit from the additional support of a global group of world-leading educational experts. Access to Inspired’s global best practices in teaching and learning ensures students will receive opportunities specifically designed to transform and broaden their horizons. These opportunities will give them a deepened appreciation of their fellow global citizens, preparing them for a successful academic and working life in an evolving, global world. We look forward to our continued expansion in the beautiful country of Greece.” 

Christos Geitonas, Managing Director of CGS, said, "Partnering with Inspired will help us realise our full potential. Inspired and CGS share a commitment to ensuring students can flourish and reach their full potential through the provision of an environment of ongoing inquiry, cooperation and mutual respect as they acquire a high-calibre education and positive life attitudes to make a contribution to the world they live in. We look forward to CGS pupils making the most of the opportunities to take part in exchanges with world-leading schools abroad. Together, we will work to establish our second school in The Ellinikon development, which will open in 2027.”

LAMDA Development CEO, Mr. Odisseas Athanasiou stated the following: “We are happy to welcome at The Ellinikon this flagship project as it reflects our shared commitment to innovation and excellence.”

When Inspired partners with a school, the Group preserves the school’s unique ethos, values and brand to ensure it maintains its own distinct identity and philosophy. This is done in schools all over the globe and even with schools within the same city. Inspired respects and maintains the differences that make a school unique while integrating Inspired's global best practices. An example of this is in Madrid, Spain, where several schools of Inspired’s group are located, including King’s College, Colegio San Patricio, Mirabal, Kensington, and Ramon Y Cajal. Each operates independently, retaining its distinctive identity. King’s College, one of Madrid’s top schools, is renowned for its British international education and heritage, while Colegio San Patricio is a prestigious Spanish institution known for its values-based education and a curriculum that spans both local and IB offerings.

Inspired utilises the best educational practices from every corner of the globe to ensure each student receives a first-class learning experience, from Kindergarten to Year 13. Students benefit from a robust, holistic, curriculum formed around the Inspired three pillars of modern education: academic excellence, sports, and performing and creative arts, with dedicated, highly qualified specialist teachers who demonstrate Inspired's exemplary methodology.
