Fifteen years ago, when parents in the Greek community of Finchley were setting up the Independent Greek School of Finchley, their main desire was to offer the opportunity to children in and around Finchley to learn their heritage language and preserve a history and culture that had enlightened the western world.

The founding members sought to encourage the active involvement of parents and friends so that the school would become a model of high standards and achievements in Community Education.

Five years on, the school has become a model of Educational excellence much admired and envied by other supplementary schools with much longer histories.
