The school successfully implements social (Autumn fair and Spring fair, Christmas concert) and vocational guidance to integrate the society (Amalia) projects.

We successfully collaborate and share our experiences with several special schools in Cyprus (Agios Varnavas Liopetri, Special School of Pafos, and Evangelismos Nicosia) but also with Public schools throughout Cyprus. (Agios Georgios Lyceum, Livadia Primary school, Pascal Private High School).

In order to improve the conditions necessary for educating children we have been creating a multisensory relaxation room “Snoezelen”, a Sensory Integration room and an Interactive room with multiple projectors in the room.
