Greek School

 

Welcome to the Greek School Of

St. Paraskevi Greek Orthodox Church of Greenlawn

Welcome to the Saint Paraskevi Greek School! Our program, established over 50 years ago, operates every Saturday from 9:30 am -1:00 pm, from September until June. Typically, the first day of classes is the third Saturday of September and the last day of classes is the first Saturday in June. A detailed schedule is published prior to the start of each school year. Our classes start from Nursery to Sixth grade and then are followed by a Regents Prep class. Students passing the Greek Regents Comprehensive Examination (Checkpoint B) affords them to earn three high school credits in a foreign language. Students are also prepared to participate in the Examination for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek (Ellinomatheia Test), the only official title of proficiency in Modern Greek valid worldwide. 


Our mission is to provide high quality Greek Education which fosters an appreciation for their Greek heritage, and their spiritual and cultural identity. Our well - rounded Greek language program meets the needs of all learners. Our students learn to read and write the Greek language. In addition, they learn about our Greek culture (singing folk music and dancing folk dances), religion, history, and mythology. Within the program, there are several festive celebrations: OXI Day, Christmas Carol Singing, Three Hierarchs Day, Greek Independence Day, and the Graduation Ceremony.


The staff at the Saint Paraskevi Greek School aims to create and maintain an academically rigorous environment where students are nurtured and supported so that all of them reach their maximum potential in the Greek language. 


Please support our effort to start the new year on a successful note by signing up your children in a timely manner so they can get the benefit of their education.


Registration forms are available in the Church Office, online, as well as in the Monthly Message. Tuition can be paid by check, credit card and/or monthly installments.
