Koraes accomplishes its mission by:
- By providing a safe, family environment that fosters life-long friendships between students and families who attend Koraes and share the same values.
- By teaching at school, the same values that are taught in the home.
- By focusing on developing child’s moral and spiritual character throughout their school day by teaching them to be respectful, disciplined, engaged and mindful of God’s presence in their lives while providing them with a good education.
We offer a complete elementary school program for grades kindergarten through eighth. The school is fully recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, and the Ministry of Education of Greece.
The school also offers a prekindergarten (preschool) program for children 3 years old and above that incorporates the flexibility for children to attend 3-5 days a week (half day or full day) while our kindergarten program is a full day program. We offer before and after school care for working moms and dads, afternoon clubs, and an afternoon Greek school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our students in grades 3-8 participate in a 1:1 technology initiative using Chromebooks.

Choosing an elementary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent, and finding the right fit can be challenging. Koraes Elementary School offers challenging courses and development in the traditional core areas of study such as language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. Greek foreign language, physical education, art, music, and technology are also offered as part of the curriculum. One unique characteristic of the Koraes program is the study of Greek language, culture and heritage starting with the prekindergarten program through eighth grade. All of this is provided in a safe, nurturing, faith and family based environment during your child's formative years. We welcome families of all Eastern Orthodox traditions.

What an amazing response to our FIRST ever Family Literacy Night!
Not only did we pack the school with kids and their families, we raised just over $1,400 towards the purchase of Complete Comprehension, an amazing literacy tool for our teachers to better assess and guide our students on their reading journey. All money above the initial $1000 goal, will be used to purchase additional texts and student and teacher resources. What a beautiful gift to give our young readers! Thank you for always being #AllinForKoraes |
