Children’s Program

Our children’s program begins at age four and is organized into four groups—Early Greek, Growing Greek, Elementary Greek, and Upper Greek—with classes held across three days each week. Students are placed based on age and experience to ensure an engaging and well-structured classroom environment where they can build confidence, develop their Greek language skills, and learn alongside their peers. As enrollment and student needs allow, additional groupings may be formed within levels to support students at different language abilities, including both heritage speakers and those just beginning their Greek language journey. Classes are led by a teaching team, creating a dynamic and interactive learning experience. Students also take part in Greek holiday celebrations and community events throughout the year, connecting with the broader parish and school community.
