GRAPSA Superiority

IMPORTANT:

We succesfully took part in the KEM Franchise exhibition, 3-5 March 2023 MEC Paiania

The Grapsa Educational Group created intensive education for adults according to European Standards in 1984, providing high-quality study courses in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish to 8,000 students per year.

Aiming for perfection, it created flexible, innovative study courses.

• We follow a functional-communicative approach to teaching. We combine elements from ‘Dynamic Learning’ and from ‘NLP concept’ (Neuro-linguistic Programming) which adapts teaching to the individual learning style of each student (visual, auditory, kinesthetic).
• The teacher helps the student with positive feedback through constant ‘reframing’. We associate their thought with actions, sounds and images (‘anchoring’) as what one experiences is learned more deeply.
• Our goal is communication. Grammar is taught in a live context where words provide a framework for structure, as opposed to structure framing words.
• Excellent educational product – excellent reputation!
• Original lessons -interactive, with an emphasis on communication.
• The GRAPSA lesson is an experience. It is the Lesson of the Future!
• With elite teachers, trained in the GRAPSA system by internal trainers as well as by international organizations such as OUDCE-University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education.
• With technology-enhanced lessons, such as through the GRAPSA VIRTUAL CLASSROOM® platform.
• With lessons that differ: experience-based and ‘enriched’.
• With the publication of invaluable textbooks.
• With notable international academic collaborations which ensure that GRAPSA students receive the highest quality of foreign-language learning in Greece.
• Awarded by the Hellenic-American Union with a Certificate of Recognition and by the French Institute/French Embassy with a Memorandum of Collaboration.

Technological Superiority

The new technological revolution and the proper approach to teaching at GRAPSA have established ONLINE GRAPSA courses. We operate in Attiki, regional Greece, and Europe, highlighting the ability of everyone, students and teachers alike to adapt to technology. This agility in the use of technology is a determining factor in the profitability of our schools. Online teaching becomes effective and is offered to everyone.

The online foreign-language lessons take place in real time and meet all the quality standards of an in-person GRAPSA class. In classes kept strictly limited in size and attended by students of a similar level and via a user-friendly online platform with rich interactive content and the use of Interactive Boards.

It is essentially an actual class with classroom teaching taking place in real time within an intensive program.

I was able to speak Italian on the first day of class. It was an unprecedented experience for me to attend Italian lessons ONLINE from my town, Rethymno. I recommend GRAPSA unreservedly!

Living in Canada, my decision to choose the GRAPSA Educational Group was the right one. It addressed my problem with an ONLINE study course lasting only two months, with multiple schedule options, something which was a great relief to me due to the huge difference in time zones! The lessons are always enjoyable and adjusted to my level aiming for the best possible result!
