School Mission
Our mission, at The St. Nicholas Stephen & Areti Cherpelis Hellenic School, is to instill a love of the Hellenic language, values, traditions, and culture, along with the Christian Orthodox faith, as the foundation for future Greek-American generations’ education- paedia.
Paedia is viewed as the cultivation of the body, mind, and spirit through a safe, nurturing, and fun learning environment for all students with the intent to create passionate learners. Each student is lead into academic excellence through the Socratic method, maieutic, that supports critical thinking and fosters natural curiosity while promoting lifelong learning. Students, with the support and collaboration of their educators and families are lead into character development by becoming compassionate and contributing citizens of their community. Through the force of agape, students emerge into philanthropists who soon realize that the real achievement of happiness springs only through noble living.
