Since Maria West founded The American College of Greece 151 years ago in Smyrna, our core mission remains unchanged.
Now it’s more important than ever: To contribute to the advancement of Greece and the global community through teaching, scholarship, outreach, and service rooted in the American educational tradition. ACG’s identity and legacy are intricately connected to its commitment to provide talented but economically disadvantaged students a quality education through scholarship assistance.
As a non-profit institution, the scholarships and the high-quality education The American College of Greece provides, would not have been possible without the generous donations from alumni, parents, friends, foundations, and companies that support the school’s mission. ACG encompasses three educational divisions: Pierce, Deree, and Alba, with over 5,700 students from Greece and over 86 countries. Almost half of the students receive some need and/or merit-based financial assistance. ΑCG has over 77,000 Alumni around the globe who constitute our best Ambassadors.
