History
History
The school was founded in 1936 by Charles Beregean (Karolos Berzan), a mathematician (there is no source verifying either a degree or any articles in mathematics authored by Beregean), under the name “Standard Lyceum of Athens” (Πρότυπον Λύκειον Αθηνών, Protipon Likion Athinón). It moved to its current location in 1952, when ownership was transferred to Antonis Moraitis – whose name the school has adopted since 1976. After Antonis Moraitis died in 1981, the property and administration of the school were transferred to his daughters: Chrysanthi Moraiti-Kartali (middle and high school) and Katerina Moraiti (primary school, until she died in 1996). Today, the school is run by Chrisanthi Moraiti-Kartali, Giorgos Kasimatis, Antonis Kartalis, and Giorgos Kartalis. The school proclaims 12 fundamental principles (Dodecalogue, Δωδεκάλογος, Dodekálogos), ranging from religious tolerance to the equivalent of Beckett's "fail again; fail better" premise, as a guide for all its members.
