The Dormition Church Greek School was established in Somerville in the early 20th century, when the Church first opened its doors in 1916.  The Program has been providing exceptional learning in Greek language and culture ever since.   

​

Through the years, the Dormition Church Greek School has provided an academic Greek education to thousands of students from Kindergarten through 6th Grade.  The purpose of the Dormition Church Greek School is for every child to learn the Greek language, history, and culture:

​

• To learn to love Greece and the Greek people. 

• To feel proud of his/her origins. 

• To learn about what Greece has offered to the wider world (democracy, philosophy, theater, rhetoric, etc.).  

• When our children finish the Dormition Church Greek School, the goal is that they will have embraced Hellenism in their hearts.

 

From the first Dormition Church Greek School teacher and parish priest, the +Rev. Fr. Konstantinos Kacoyanis (of blessed memory) through to the present-day teachers, every Dormition Church Greek School teacher has all brought their love of Greek language and culture to fruition by the sharing of their knowledge with the youth of our community.  The strong programs of the past decades that educated so many students have now been enhanced to bring the current curriculum into the new digital age.
 
The Dormition Church Greek School Program is an exceptionally strong and multifaceted learning program, and it scaffolds the learning of the Greek language with teaching of the Orthodox faith, Hellenic culture, and Greek traditional dances, songs, games, music, and theater.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more about this truly exceptional program!
