This essay presents the methods, as well as the pedagogical effects, findings and results of introducing Ancient Greek in the curriculum of children between three and 12 years old as evidenced over 27 years in the method of Elliniki Agogi. Elliniki Agogi is an award-winning private educational institute established in Greece in the mid-1990s at a time when the teaching of Ancient Greek was questioned and dramatically reduced from the public curriculum. Its aim is to safeguard learning that has its roots in Ancient Greek and to continue to introduce students to the Greek civilisation and its language, using effective, entertaining and artistic methods. This endeavour was based on specific pedagogical models; by learning through experience and through a communication-orientated educational process. With concomitant, cautious organisation and preparation of each lesson a diversified educational curriculum is created that connects the students to their distant past while experiencing positive emotions, filled with ethical paradigms that contribute later to master a fully-shaped personality. 27 years later, studies have come to prove the positive influence of learning Ancient Greek in children's linguistic and mental abilities. The following study conducted is distinctive in the detailed pedagogical method it provides and validates the importance of teaching the Ancient Greek language to children as early as possible.

本文介绍了在 3 至 12 岁儿童的课程中引入古希腊语的方法、教学效果、发现和结果，这在 Elliniki Agogi 的方法中已有 27 年的历史。埃利尼基·阿戈吉是一家屡获殊荣的私立教育机构，于 20 世纪 90 年代中期在希腊成立，当时古希腊语的教学受到质疑并从公共课程中大幅减少。其目的是保护源于古希腊的学习，并继续使用有效、有趣和艺术的方法向学生介绍希腊文明及其语言。这项努力是基于特定的教学模式；通过经验学习和以沟通为导向的教育过程。通过伴随、谨慎地组织和准备每节课，创建了一个多样化的教育课程，将学生与他们遥远的过去联系起来，同时体验积极的情绪，充满道德范式，这些范式有助于后来掌握完整的人格。27 年后，研究证明学习古希腊语对儿童的语言和智力有积极影响。以下进行的研究在提供详细的教学方法方面与众不同，并验证了尽早向儿童教授古希腊语的重要性。
