The Private Schools Fryganiotis, with youthful freshness, long experience and maturity, are going through their seventh decade of existence, maintaining their strong presence and offer in education. Their founders, Peter Fryganiotis and his wife Harikleia, both teachers, full of anxiety and desire, have translated their dream for a better quality in education into action.
The 1953, they founded the first school called "Alexander the Great" (Balsami - Neapolis area).
But they did not rest on their laurels. Five years later , in 1958 , they moved the school to a larger building. The Kindergarten,"The Bees", and six complete classes of the Primary School, were now the Fryganiotis Schools (Romanian-Neapolis area).
Keeping alive the vision for a more modern School, they planned in 1968 the construction of a model school. After three years, in 1971 , in a healthy environment of 4000 sq.m. in the lush green Regiki-Pefka, it was ready to accommodate the elementary school students of the Fryganiotis Schools. Their love for the child, consistency in educational work and the optimism for a better future in Education -values that guided them for a lifetime- they left a legacy to their son Athanasios, his wife Efimia, but also to their grandchildren Petros and Hara Fryganiotis, teachers.
The two of them continue uninterruptedly the orientation given by the founders and at 1996 they transferred the Pre-school, as an autonomous educational unit, in a modern independent building, next to the Primary School.
The willingness to offer does not stop there and the new big step took place in September of 2001. The Gymnasium - Lyceum of the Schools Fryganiotis,ultramodern in architectural concepts and staffed with the appropriately selected and experienced scientific personnel, operates with the most modern and innovative training programs.
Finally , wanting to offer the best Educational Experience, responding to the interests of preschool children, the development of an integrated comprehensive and specialized program, they moved at September 2007 the Thessaloniki's Kindergarten at an autonomous, modern building, next to the Kindergarten. A challenging mission, with a primary concern to fit the children of today and the world of tomorrow.

This refers to the traditional enterprises that have stood the test of time. The professionals have dedicated their entire lives with passion, innovation and are the modern Megalezanders of our city.
It is not a simple record but an essential manual for every young professional, as it carries the soul, the experiences and the struggle of decades or even centuries of the founders and continuators of the historic businesses of Thessaloniki.
The third generation of the family , Petros and Chara enter dynamically into the educational organization, capable of continuing a project for a quality provision of educational processes, capable of educating, cultivating and ultimately instilling human values, which will be constantly enriched with new facilities, new technological data and new pages in the lives of all of us.
