Research demonstrates benefits of early exposure to multiple languages. Our Greek School program be- gins at age 3!

Even if you do not speak Greek, it is a wonderful language to introduce your child to. There are countless words in the English language that are of Greek origin. Exposure to Greek will assist your child with all con- tent areas, especially with Math and Science as they progress through school.

Our Greek school is open to students of other communities as well as to those of the greater community.The St. Vasilios Greek School has functioned continuously since the founding of our parish. The Greek School is the oldest educational program within the church. The school offers the youth of our community knowledge of the Greek language, a love for the Orthodox Faith, and an appreciation for the culture and his- tory of the Greek people. Our students build strong bonds with their classmates that last a lifetime.We will have an open registration this year, you can visit the church website www.stvasilios.org to download the reg- istration form and bring it to the office at your convenience.Greek School consists of 8 grades Introductory 3-4 year olds through 6th, open to students age 3 through 7th grade in American School.

The staff adjusts the curriculum to the needs and abilities of our children who come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our curriculum consists of conversational skills, culture, reading, religion, writing and dance. Our main focus is conversational skills and we spend a great amount of class time focusing on real life situations students can relate to.

We also offer preparation to students for the Ellinomatheia Exam. The Ellinomatheia is a certificate of attain- ment in Modern Greek and is an official certificate by the Greek Ministry of Education given to candidates who successfully complete oral and written exams in Greek. There are six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2)
