The university's School of Civil Engineering ranks 7th in the world and 3rd in Europe, making the NTUA the only Greek university school to rank in the first 10 schools in the world.

The School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering ranks 29th in the world and 12th in Europe. While the School of Electrical Engineering, the School of Mechanical Engineering, and the School of Chemical Engineering also hold satisfactory rankings.

Professor Ioannis Golias, the rector of NTUA, stated: "the university, despite problems with low funding and the reduction in teachers and staff continues to be ranked among the first worldwide due to the staff's efforts and the high level of its students. These are very satisfying results for the university, which continues its effort for the continuous improvement at all levels of academic and research activity".

Today’s high school and middle school students need to be prepared for a world that exponentially depends on technology, an ever-changing environment with multi-faceted demands.

Well-designed courses provide great opportunities for students to learn through authentic and diverse teaching and learning modalities that constitute and further extend the i²Flex methodology. Developed 12 years ago at ACS Athens, this blended teaching methodology specifies that student learning occurs in the following dimensions:

· i: independent, yet teacher-guided learning;
· i: inquiry-based learning;
· Flex: flexible learning in a continuum from face-to-face to virtual classroom settings

The Virtual School offers online courses that come to meet the individual needs of students worldwide for high school credit. The exceptionally skilled faculty of ACS Athens, trained to teach both i²Flex and online courses, bring the academic excellence of ACS Athens courses to the online mode by promoting learner-centered instructional designs and experiences, while at the same time maintaining student-teacher contact through synchronous and asynchronous virtual class projects and meetings. Continuous support and monitoring of the student provides a holistic approach to student learning and performance.

The first group of 11 online courses begins this October and runs for 15 weeks in order to secure up to one high school credit. The second group begins in February 10, 2020 and, again, runs for 15 weeks for up to one high school credit.

Accelerated summer courses are offered, beginning in the second week of June 2020 and will end the last week of July (8 weeks) for a one-semester, 0.5 high school credit.
