With their outstanding performance on the Panhellenic examinations, Pierce Seniors 2020 confirmed the methodicalness, diligence and dedication to their goals and demonstrated the systematic and comprehensive daily preparation in the classroom by their teachers. With their admission into institutions of higher education and, indeed, top schools, Pierce graduates have taken the first important step towards achieving their goals.
97% succeeded in being admitted into institutions of higher education, six out of 10 have been admitted into schools in Athens and Piraeus, which is an important factor at a time when the cost of studying in another city and the health crisis causes problems for many families.

In Modern Greek Language and Literature, History and Computer Science, our students achieved excellent scores (18 – 20) at a percentage of three times the national average, in a year when the subject on the Modern Greek Language and Literature exam was particularly difficult and, as a result, led to low grades.
On Ancient Greek and Economics, our students achieved excellent scores at a percentage that was 2.5 times the national average, while in Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry and Sociology, Pierce’s percentage of excellence was double the national average!
