The historical premises of the Marasleion Schoolhouse and subsequently the Marasleion Paedagogical Academy and Model Experimental Primary Schools are linked with the history of Education in Greece. The institution began operating at the dawn of the twentieth century (1905). The building was constructed on a plot of land donated by the Petrakis Monastery, to plans by the architect D. Kallias. The building and the equipping of the premises were funded by Grigorios Maraslis. Eminent personalities who with their actions and pioneering ideas set their seal on Greek educational affairs served in the school: from Alexandros Delmouzos and Dimitris Glinos in the 1920s to Ilias Vingopoulos in the 1970s.
