Anatolia alumna and well-known Greek jewelry designer Katerina Ioannidis designed the “Ladder of Knowledge” a work of art for the support of the Scholarship Program recognizing the enduring journey of Anatolia students towards educational development. The stairs symbolize the primary, secondary and tertiary divisions of Anatolia, and the form – the letter A – bears witness to the first initial of our institution as well as the standard of excellence which the organization and our students all strive for. The “Ladder of Knowledge” was initially presented in December 2014 during the Christmas Bazaar. All proceeds went to support the scholarship program which has played a central role in the school’s development.
Since being founded in 1886 in Merzifon of Asia Minor, Anatolia has been synonymous with quality education. Based in Thessaloniki since 1923, Anatolia College is a private, non-for-profit educational institution imbued with the highest ideals of Greek and American education. Today, Anatolia comprises three academic divisions, offering education of the highest standards to young people as well as adults from Greece, the US and the Balkans: Anatolia Elementary School (Kindergarten - 6th Grade), Anatolia High School (Gymnasion and Lykeion High School and IBDP), and ACT - American College of Thessaloniki, which offers graduate and post-graduate programs. At the same time, CTY Greece (Center for Talented Youth) operates at Anatolia College since 2014, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
