Our Program for Children
Our educational program begins with familiarizing children with basic vocabulary groups related to their immediate environment. Through playful and interactive processes, children start to develop basic communication skills and understanding of simple linguistic structures. Methodically and gradually the program expands its focus to include the acquisition of more complex reading, writing, and communication skills.
At all levels, elements of mythology, history and folklore are incorporated. Children learn about the Greek Gods, Ancient Greek and Byzantine history, Customs of the Greek society, national struggles like the Oxi Day and the War of Independence. They participate in cultural events, such as the cutting of the Vasilopita, Greek Independence and Oxi Day Celebrations, and Palm Tying.
Children’s classes are held every Saturday, from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm.
