Why You Should Enroll in Greek Schools in Melbourne

Elwood, a small suburb of Melbourne, Australia, is where it all began for 15 students in a single room at the back of their house. More than 1,000 students attended six campuses of this large Greek school in recent years, which had humble beginnings. It is still, to this day, a cutting-edge school of the Greek language and culture.
