Welcome to
Koraes Elementary School!
We are truly honored to have the opportunity to share our school with you, and are excited for you to experience the warmth, care, and joy that comes from being part of the Koraes Family! Raising our children in the Orthodox Christian faith and nurturing them to grow both spiritually and academically is our main goal.
Over the years, we’ve been blessed to see increasing enrollment as families like yours discover the difference an Orthodox education can make. Through the intercessions of Sts. Constantine and Helen and the strength of our community, we’ve worked hard to build a school environment where all children can thrive.

Our Mission is Clear…
to offer not only a rigorous education but also a safe, nurturing, and values-driven environment where your child can grow in character, knowledge, and personal development. We are honored to be recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, and the Ministry of Education of Greece, affirming our commitment to delivering a top-tier educational experience.
At Koraes, we believe in the importance of developing the "whole child." Our focus on academic excellence is complemented by a deep commitment to building character and emotional resilience through the teachings of the Orthodox Christian faith. We are proud to watch our students grow into confident, compassionate young people ready to take on the world with a strong sense of purpose and a heart for service.
As your family becomes part of our community, you'll find a school environment that supports your child’s growth in all areas of life—not only as a student but as an individual guided by values, integrity, and compassion.
Koraes graduates leave with more than just knowledge...
they carry a strong sense of purpose, compassion, and values. As they transition to high school, they are well-prepared to face academic challenges and social pressures with confidence and resilience. This enduring foundation is a defining hallmark of our graduates. Our commitment to fostering growth in every aspect of a child's development truly distinguishes our school from public institutions.
