American Farm School

The school is guided by the vision of its founder, Dr. John Henry House, who believed that education should address the whole person: the mind, the hands, and the soul. It promotes a culture of innovation, integrity, collaboration, excellence, respect, and sustainability. The institution is committed to the coexistence of theory and practice, aiming to inspire future leaders to care for a sustainable planet.

The school offers a comprehensive educational pathway including Pre-K, Kindergarten, Elementary School, Haseotes Middle School, General High School, Vocational High School, the Private School of Higher Vocational Training (ISAEC), and Perrotis College (undergraduate and graduate studies). The curriculum integrates experiential learning, STEM, digital literacy, and environmental education, utilizing the school's farm as a core pedagogical tool. Specialized vocational training is provided in fields such as food technology, agricultural management, culinary arts, and logistics.

Graduates are prepared for leadership roles in social life and professional careers in science, agriculture, food industry, and other sectors. The school emphasizes the development of responsible global citizens who are capable of implementing economically viable, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible practices. Alumni frequently achieve national and international recognition in academic and professional fields, including distinctions in science competitions and agricultural awards.

The school provides a mental health and counseling service staffed by a child psychologist and a special educator. This includes weekly counseling sessions for students, parents, and staff, as well as workshops for parents. The school also employs a nurse, provides weekly pediatric check-ups, and maintains private insurance coverage for students in case of accidents.

The admissions process varies by educational level but generally involves an initial expression of interest, an informational meeting with the school and relevant department heads, and a visit to the campus. For the Primary and Pre-Primary levels, this includes a meeting with the child, while secondary and post-secondary levels may involve specific application forms and assessment procedures. The school maintains a non-discriminatory policy regarding gender, religion, nationality, disability, or other protected statuses.
