our vision
Who we are Who we are Skouras Language schoolsSkouras Language School was established in 1976, with
the aim of providing high quality educational pro-
grammes for students of all ages. Since then we have
been operating 6 foreign language centres in Northern
Greece all ensuring high quality learning experience for
our students.
The excellence of our educational services has propelled
our company to the forefront of the sector, with courses
combining cutting edge teaching methods, innovative
technologies, and the best foreign language books, for
students aged 4 through to adulthood.
Skouras Sports and Language Camp Skouras Sports and Language Camp is located in the vil-
lage of Nees Fokies in Chalkidiki, one of the most fa-
mous summer resorts in Northern Greece. The camp has
been operating since 1986 and thousands of children
have had so far, a unique lifetime experience visiting
us. We offer unforgettable summer holidays to children
and teens aged 6 through adulthood, combining edu-
cation and entertainment in a very well organised pro-
gramme that includes many daily activities, games and
sports that kids enjoy. And all that in an area full of
sunshine, crystal waters (5 min. walk to the beach) in
the middle of a forest of pine-trees.

Our People
Director of studiesChristos Skouras is our Director of
studies. He has a 35 year experience
in teaching and managing Foreign
Language Schools. Mr. Skouras is the overall re-
sponsible for the implementation and adminis-
tration of all aspects of the academic
programme, including the management of the
teaching team and their performance.
Teachers Our English summer school follows a modern
communicative approach of teaching English,
which emphasizes learning through the situa-
tional method (activities, games, theatre etc.).
This ensures that lessons are student-centred and
highly interactive. Students have lots of oppor-
tunity to practice speaking when learning gram-
mar points, or having written tasks.
All our teachers are highly qualified and most of
them are native English speakers.
Sports Activity CoachesOur trainers are highly qualified athletes and
certified coaches. Most of them come from dif-
ferent countries of the world which ensures the
multicultural experience of our campers. They
are responsible for the safety of the children but
also to motivate them to actively practice.
