We are an after-school, supplemental childcare provision service with the aim of supporting your child’s after-school welfare and education. Our main aim, therefore, is to provide your child with a safe, caring and educational environment in order help improve your child’s life chances and academic levels. Beyond this, we also provide consultation service for those children who are a strong level 5 and have an aptitude to read courses tailored for grammar school examinations. If you are also looking for an institute who can guide you and your child through the GCSE, A Level and 11+ preparation then we are here for you!
We are local, personal, caring and professional, and we have over 20 years’ experience with many success stories. Our Aletheians (alumni students) are ever present in the West Midlands (and beyond). And they also return to us to to coach and support the new generation of Aletheians!
What does Aletheia mean?
Aletheia is variously translated as “unconcealedness”, “disclosure”, “revealing”, or “unclosedness”. The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is “the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident.” It also means factuality or reality. It is the antonym of lethe, which literally means “oblivion”, “forgetfulness”, or “concealment” according to Pindar’s First Olympian Ode. It derives from ‘alethus’ which means ‘true’, literally ‘not concealing’ from privative prefix a- ‘not’ + ‘lethe’ (‘forgetfulness’, ‘oblivion’). It is “the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident” and it also implies sincerity, as well as factuality or reality. As such, aletheia can be translated also as ‘remembering’. Its gender is feminine. It is pronounced ‘al-e-THEE-a’.
