Department of Greek Education
Promotes Language, Culture and More *

The Department of Greek Education has, as its aim and goal, the promotion of the Greek language, culture, history, and religion (Liturgy, Byzantine music, and readings of the Fathers of the Church).

His Eminence Archbishop Spyridon from the first moment of His Holy Administration gave emphasis to the education of Greek American children. His desire is the proliferation of Greek Education in both our Day School and Afternoon Greek Orthodox Community Schools.

Today, Greek Americans in this country often discuss Education.

The regulations of the System of Greek Education of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, in Article 1, state that a school is to be established in each parish, functioning for the purpose of teaching the Greek language, the Greek cultural heritage, and the Greek Orthodox Faith and way of life.
