At our Greek afternoon school, we are devoted to developing literacy and fluency in the Greek language, as well as knowledge and understanding of Greek culture and traditions. Our comprehensive curriculum includes conversational and written Greek, as well as lessons in Greek history, geography, culture, and religion.
In addition to our academic instruction, we believe in the importance of celebrating Greek heritage through cultural events and festive occasions. Our students have the opportunity to showcase their talents by participating in lively performances where they dance, sing, and recite poems. These events are dedicated to honoring Greek national holidays and customs, creating a vibrant atmosphere that brings our community together and strengthens our cultural connections.
Through these enriching experiences, our students not only develop language skills but also cultivate a deep appreciation for their Greek roots. We take pride in nurturing the next generation of Greek language speakers who are knowledgeable about Greek traditions and proud bearers of our cultural heritage.
A Welcome Message
Dear Parents and Community members,
Our Greek School curriculum builds reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, teaches the origins of our Greek traditions and customs, and includes topics on Greek geography, mythology and history. The students - depending on their grade – study about the geography of Greece, ancient Greek civilizations (Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenaean, Golden age of Athens, Macedonian state and Alexander the Great), ancient Greek Mythology (Greek Gods and heroes, like Hercules & Theseus), the ancient Greek poet Homer and his poems (Iliad and Odyssey), the ancient Greek Olympic games and about famous Greek poets, writers and actors of our times. They are also taught songs and prayers depending on holidays and seasons. Our goal besides of course teaching the Greek language is to foster a strong love and respect for the Greek culture, religion, and arts – a sense of pride for our Hellenic heritage.
All our teachers have many years of teaching experience and teaching is their primary occupation. They have attended long term seminars about the teaching of Greek as a second language and most of them were born and raised in Greece and have attended Greek Universities. Also, our school is equipped with smartboards for grades 4th and up, which our teachers use in order to incorporate online activities, games, quizzes, songs and videos in their lessons.
Our Greek school operates twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays from 4.30-6.00pm. On Tuesdays our program includes Greek dance instruction with a certified Greek dance teacher, so our students have the opportunity to learn and enjoy our traditional Greek dances.
The teachers and I are looking forward to working with you to provide a successful school year filled with learning, cultural and spiritual growth, and community building for our Greek school.
We thank you all for your continued support and prayers these challenging times.

Greek School PTA
Remember, we are all working together for “our most precious gifts”...our children!
The Greek School is devoted to developing literacy and fluency in the Greek Language and to cultivating knowledge and understanding of Greek cultures and traditions. The PTA’s role is to enhance and support the Greek School’s mission through volunteering and fundraising events. The present PTA organization was established at our General Assembly meeting on May 17, 2019.
We would like to thank all of the Greek School families for their contributions to this past year’s events. We are now in the process of working out next year’s program in the hope of surpassing last year’s success. We are truly fortunate to have support from our wonderful Greek School Director, Irene Pantelaros, along with our most-loved and respected Fr. Nick, our terrific Greek School Teachers, and the Holy Trinity Church Board and Community.
To enable the Greek School to begin operations on solid footing, we are collecting $30.00 per family which are the PTA dues for the 2018/2019 school year. We only have two General Assembly meetings the entire year. One for elections and the other one is general meeting. In order to have the right to vote, you must be an active PTA member. Kindly fill out the information and membership form below and have a cash payment or check made payable to “Holy Trinity Greek School PTA”, as you register your child/children to Greek School this year. It will make the start to the school year run smoothly.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to a productive and rewarding year on behalf of all the Greek School children.
