"My time at Fantis has been filled with love, laughter, and encouragement, with friends who are now family and who will be part of my life long after we graduate. A. Fantis. Teachers like Ms. Thalia, our fourth-grade teacher, and Mr. Mound, our history teacher, have helped me to find my voice and face every challenge with an open mind”

What Our 
Parents
 Are Saying

"Today, we met with the Director of Admissions at UNIS. He explained their rigorous five-point ranking system - academic achievements, international background, openness to diversity, extracurricular activities, and character. She ranked #2 out of over 200 applicants - we were incredibly proud! What truly stood out to them were your letters and your character descriptions. So: THANK YOU! Mr. Tasoulas, you have put together a great team!"

Claudia Corcilius, Parent ‘25

"Last week, we attended a welcome reception at one of the most prestigious high schools in the nation, where our child was among only 12 students accepted out of over 1,500 applicants. Sitting among families from elite private schools, we were in awe. The admissions director personally shared how impressed they were with our child’s academic excellence, humility, kindness, and pride in their Greek American heritage”
