At Pinewood, admissions is about much more than applications and deadlines; it is about building relationships and helping families feel informed, supported, and genuinely welcomed from the very beginning. We understand that choosing the right school is an important decision, and our Admissions Team is here to guide you through each step of the journey with care, clarity, and personal attention.
From your first inquiry to your first visit, we want every family to experience the warmth, openness, and sense of community that define Pinewood. Our role is not only to answer questions and provide information, but also to help you gain a true sense of our school’s values, learning environment, and the opportunities available to each child within a community where students can grow, belong, and thrive.
As an admissions officer since 2021, I have supported families through the important milestone of choosing the right school. Outside of reviewing applications and hosting campus tours, I enjoy concerts, finding the best eating spots around Thessaloniki, and meeting people from around the world and getting to know their stories.
What makes Pinewood unique?
Our families. Each one brings a different story to Pinewood, adding to its cultural richness and community. Whether they come here for work, returning to their Greek heritage, or exploring new educational opportunities for their children, Pinewood families make for a truly international and welcoming environment. Their diverse perspectives shape meaningful connections both inside and outside the classroom, creating a community where students learn as much from one another as they do from their teachers. This strong sense of belonging, combined with shared values of curiosity, respect, and global-mindedness, is what makes Pinewood feel like home for families from around the world.
I was born and raised in Thessaloniki. After completing my studies in the United States, I returned to Greece and worked at the American Farm School, Thessaloniki for some years. I am currently a proud member of the Admissions Team. As a parent, I strongly believe that education is one of the most valuable gifts we can offer a child, as it shapes not only future opportunities but also character, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
