Athens College Elementary School – Grade 2 students learn about neighborhood design with architect Ms. Kefalianou–Sakelaropoulou

Oct 29, 2026

As part of the transdisciplinary theme “How we organize ourselves,” Grade 2 students attended a particularly engaging presentation by Ms. Kefalianou–Sakelaropoulou, an architect and parent at our School.

During the presentation, the children learned about the basic elements that make up a neighborhood and discovered how the spaces where we live and go about our daily lives are designed. They looked at the factors that influence how a neighborhood is organized and came to understand the important role the natural environment plays in shaping it and helping it grow.

The activity helped the students connect their learning to the real world, developing their observation skills, critical thinking, and interest in how the built environment is designed.

We warmly thank Ms. Kefalianou-Sakelaropoulou for her valuable contribution and for giving the children the chance to explore the world of architecture in such an inspiring way.
