Overview

Students are instructed in the teachings and traditions of Orthodox Christianity at an age appropriate level. This vital ministry seeks to cultivate within our children an Orthodox Christian way of life along with Orthodox Christian spirituality. The classes offer opportunities for learning that supplement and complement the Holy Wisdom being offered in the Divine Liturgy. Each grade level follows a specific curriculum, is interactive and participates in special projects to facilitate the learning process. Ultimately, the Saint Demetrios Church School Program is dedicated to the religious education of the youth and providing opportunities for Christian growth rooted in the principles and teachings of the Holy Orthodox Church. The success of our Church School program remains dependent on parents enrolling their children in the program and striving to further explore and expand on the lessons that take place in the classroom within the home. Furthermore, our Church School Program is always wholeheartedly interested in, and welcomes committed parishioners willing to offer a portion of their time and talent to help the Religious Education Staff teach our youth the religious, moral and Holy principles of the Orthodox Christian way of life.
