Support and counseling are provided by professionals in the field of psychology and special education. This includes:

• Weekly visits by the child psychologist to ensure direct cooperation and communication with the teaching staff on matters concerning the mental health of the children, as well as the overall functioning of the classrooms in every educational process.

• Weekly counseling sessions with parents and guardians.

• Visits by an occupational therapist for partial assessment of the children’s basic skills.

• Parent workshops for all parents and guardians, taking place in a group setting based on the principles of experiential learning through a systemic perspective. The themes address everyday life issues as well as special educational concerns.

All the personnel are trained in first aid, and there is a nurse on call. A pediatrician visits the school weekly, and each student is individually examined in a specially designed care and supervision area. In case of an accident, the school provides our students with private insurance at any private hospital.

Students are transported to and from the School in the AFS school buses. Experienced drivers and attendants are responsible for the safe and timely transfer of the students to and from the Pre-K throughout the school year.

The bus routes are studied carefully and are always designed to provide the best possible service, while ensuring the safe transportation of our students.

The Kindergarten operates a restaurant to prepare and serve daily meals for our students. The School uses fresh ingredients sourced from the Educational Farm (milk, eggs, butter, flour) and other carefully selected producers to create menus that satisfy the nutritional needs of the students.

Breakfast is provided for all students. In addition, students can opt into the lunch service provided through the school restaurant. The meal plan is designed by a nutritionist to meet the requirements of a balanced diet, using only seasonal ingredients, and following the Mediterranean diet model.

Kindergarten students wear a school uniform both for practical reasons and for comfort. The uniform features the American Farm School’s colors and logo. Students should wear it daily, especially during school visits and educational trips.

Extra-curricular Clubs aim to further the cognitive and emotional skills of the students and develop their personal talents.

The clubs are available to students throughout the school year, and offer the following:

• Small groups

• Qualified trainers

Students who don’t wish to participate in a Club may engage in creative activities in the school area until their departure.

The American Farm School places a premium on the security of our students, staff and families. Security guards are stationed at all the entrances and exit points in order to ensure the safety of our students.

The security of the campus, including staff, students, resident students and visitors, is ensured by the Campus Security Office. The department’s personnel conduct patrols throughout the day covering all areas within the School and those surrounding the premises.

In the same vein, the Kindergarten adheres to regulations that ensure the safe transportation of our students, within or outside the school, during the school program, and during outings and field trips.
