Message from our Proeistamenos

Dear Friends

Christ is in our midst!

Welcome!  First, I would like to share a story with you about a jewel and a jewel box. 

A village was once given a very precious jewel.  To protect the magnificent jewel, the villagers made a beautiful jewel box to place it in.  The jewel and jewel box were then passed down from one generation to the next, with each generation making an even more precious box to put the previous one in.

You can imagine how precious all those jewel boxes were that housed the original jewel.  It is this jewel with its jewel box that we wish to share with you.  The jewel is our precious Adamantios Koraes Elementary School.

Koraes School is unique in comparison to other elementary schools in that its guiding light is the Holy Cross of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ.  Every day for ten years Koraes students experience the Orthodox way of life—whether by instruction, in Divine Services, or “as applied.”  Furthermore, unlike some other schools, Koraes goes a step further in caring about who its students are as human beings, as individuals created in the image and likeness of their Creator.  In a word, Koraes turns out good Orthodox Christians, good students, and good citizens.

With this in mind we welcome you to our school and specifically here to our website.

With God’s blessings!
