The Aegean Center

The Aegean reimagined

Like many organizations, the Aegean Center paused activities during the Covid pandemic. For the first time in sixty years, we did not welcome students to Paros. Although we faced difficulties, we also had time to reflect on our future, keeping in mind Socrates' warning about the dangers of a busy life. Over the nearly three years, we examined our past, assessed the present, and contemplated the future of the Center amid the challenges of modern education.

We decided to reinvent the Aegean Center while reaffirming our dedication to being a small, independent academy that offers an alternative to traditional education. This new structure allows us to maintain high-quality teaching and enhance a unique educational experience. We recognize the importance of meaningful learning that occurs in a real setting, especially in a culturally rich environment.

Our new short-term programs, lasting 15 to 30 days in the beautiful and quiet spring and autumn seasons, provide inspiration for learning and creativity. These sessions cater to students of all ages, promoting inclusivity and shared experiences. With focused instruction of four to six hours daily for two weeks, we believe this intensive format greatly benefits students, leading to deeper engagement and greater skill development. The Aegean Center serves as an excellent starting point for a broader educational journey abroad. This chance lets students dive into fine art basics while enjoying the beauty of Paros, providing a strong foundation for future creativity and development.

Have a look and let us hear from you. Welcome to the Aegean Center.
