SAINT VASILIOS GREEK SCHOOL
TUITION
Tuition for Members in Good Standing
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 history of the Greek people. Our students build strong bonds with their classmates that last a lifetime.
Greek School consists of 8 grades Introductory 3-4 year olds through 6th, open to students age 3 through 7th grade in American School.
Please note children must be 3 years old by September 1st and be potty trained in order to enroll in the Introductory Class.
Children age 3 can enroll in the Introductory class (3-4 year olds) and students entering Kindergarten can enroll in the Pre-School class. Our Introductory Class meets on Mondays from 3:45-5:15. Pre-K through 6th grade will meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:45-5:15.
The first day of Greek School is scheduled for Monday, September 14th. We will meet in the Greek School at 3:45 and head to the Church for Agiasmo. We will have a brief meeting following Agiamso and ask for parents to be in attendance.
Please register by August 20th in order to have books in on time for the first day of classes.

Explanation of Hymns Following the Gospel
Apolytikion
The Apolytikion, or “dismissal hymn,” is a short Orthodox hymn that summarizes the meaning of a feast day or honors the saint of the day. Sung at Vespers, Matins, and the Divine Liturgy, it reflects the spiritual theme of the celebration.
Kontakion
A Kontakion is a short Orthodox hymn or “poetic sermon” that reflects the meaning of a feast or sacred theme. Originating in the Byzantine era, it was once a longer hymn, though today only its opening verses are typically sung in worship.
