Greek School
“With us everything should be secondary compared to our concern with children, and their upbringing in the instruction and teaching of the Lord.”
+ Saint John Chrysostom
Welcome to the Annunciation Cathedral Greek School! Our school is committed to providing an immersive education in both the Greek language and the customs of our Orthodox faith.
Our experienced and dedicated teachers are passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of the Greek language, helping our students to read, write, and speak Greek with confidence and accuracy. Additionally, our curriculum includes lessons on Orthodox customs and traditions, as we believe that understanding our faith is essential to fully embracing our cultural heritage.
We offer a vibrant and supportive community where students can connect with their peers, learn about our shared history and traditions, and develop a sense of pride in their Greek heritage. Enrolling your child in our Greek language and culture school is a wonderful opportunity to provide them with a strong foundation in the language, customs, and faith of our community. We welcome students of all backgrounds and abilities, and are proud to offer a warm and welcoming environment where they can grow and thrive.
