School of Vrontados

By the year 1845 came into operation the village’s first Primary School, only for boys, and by the year 1870 there was a Primary School that girls also could attend. The first of these was in the new building, close to the Cathedral of Saint George, at the expense of the public. The second one was in working order in the church's cell. But when the disastrous earthquake of 22 March 1881 happened in Chios, the schools and the church were damaged. 

In 1882 with a suggestion of admiral Trotter, at England expenses, to help the earthquake victims there was built a new wooden school, near the first one, where today is situated the parish church of Saint George. This new school again was only for boys, while the first one, after the repair, was the new school for girls until the year 1926. 

Until 1881 there was communal teaching in these schools, with one teacher or sometimes with an assistant. There were 8 classes with, approximately 700 students, some of them coming from the area of Livadia. 

But by the time Mr. Reveli’s new method was put into practice, there had to be something done to bring schools into a better operation. So the teachers Dimitris Tellis and Andreas Pithis went to the town, two times every week, to be taught the new teaching method by Reveli. But because of the long distance the two teachers, old men, could not endure walking there every day, younger teachers took these lessons instead. 

In 1885 schools were reformed and converted, with the new system, from 8 classes to 4 classes, with two teachers.

The school in her final shape, at the year 1915, was situated on the Cathedral church's property funded by the committee and other donators. In total 67, 745 drachmas. 

The foundation stone of the school was placed at 6 of August 1914 and the inauguration was celebrated at 13 of December 1915, with many people from Vrontados celebrating this great event.
