Step into the birthplace of logic, geometry and philosophy with our GCSE & A-Level Mathematics School Trips to Athens. This unforgettable educational experience connects students with the roots of Western mathematics, offering a rare chance to explore how abstract ideas were first developed, visualised and applied in the ancient world.
From the perfect proportions of the Parthenon to the ingenious inventions housed in the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, Athens is more than a historical destination — it’s a living classroom. Students will explore the influence of thinkers like Euclid, Pythagoras and Archimedes, and discover how mathematical principles shaped architecture, astronomy and everyday life in classical Greece.
This curriculum-linked tour not only reinforces core concepts like symmetry, measurement and logic, but also inspires deeper thinking about the cultural and philosophical foundations of maths. Through guided visits, interactive workshops and expert-led discussions, students are encouraged to connect past and present, theory and practice — all in one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
Suitable for: GCSE & A-Level students
