The church operates a Greek language afternoon school program for grades K-8. Current enrollment is approximately 160
students. Classes are held twice a week 3:30 - 5:30 pm. Father Nick conducts monthly visits to the classrooms to talk
with the students. He attends all school functions and celebrations encouraging the students in their efforts. Emphasis
is on teaching our children the Hellenic language, reading, writing, and Hellenic culture, history, and values with a Greek
Orthodox background. We are proud to have 100% passing grades for all our students who have taken the NY State Greek Regents
Examination.
Our newly constructed Efstathios and Stamatiki Valiotis School and Community Center is state of the art. The new structure has a library, gymnasium and stage which will serve us well for our Annual March 25th, Our February Apokries Festivities, Graduation and our October 28th school celebrations etc.. It will also serve as a community center for all our cultural and social events.
