Hellinikon campus

The old campus of St Lawrence College was located in Hellinikon from where it operated for 22 years. In its early years, in the mid-1980s, there was also a second campus at Gargitos, which housed students from 3rd grade onward, with school facilities that included a hall, a tuck shop, a football pitch and a play area behind the two-storey school buildings. Also in these early years, students up until 2nd grade were housed in an old neoclassical mansion in Psychiko. The Gargitos campus closed in 1987. The Hellinikon Campus was spread out over 4 areas with gardens and a view to the sea. The buildings were located next to the old Hellinikon airport, the former international airport of Athens and the Hellinikon Olympic Complex and Aghios Kosmos Port.
