The Hellenic Army Academy ( Evelpidon), was the personal vision of the first Governor of Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias, who is also its founder. In June 1828, he announced its establishment and was the one that called the first five students “Evelpides”.

The long-lasting History of the School has been tightly connected with the History of the Greek Nation of modern times, as it has been the fertile soil out of which sprang personalities that played a significant role in the history of our country.

In the above video the Hellenic Army Academy Cadets are parading on the day of national celebration (Greek Revolution against the Turkish Occupation 1821). Their Professor, Dr. Theodore Liolios and members of HACC were present recording this manifestation of excellence (see details about the owner of the video in Greek)
