History
-
The school was founded thanks to a donation by Ioannis Ionidis, a wealthy Greek merchant and benefactor who lived in London.
-
Ionidis wanted to support education in Piraeus, his birthplace, and contributed funds for the creation of a modern school that would provide high-level education to the city’s youth.
-
The institution was named “Ionidios” in his honor (Ιωνίδειος means “of Ionidis”).

Over the decades, the school has developed a strong academic reputation and is considered one of the most prestigious public schools in Greece.
