A Message From Our Principal:

Dear St. Demetrios Greek-American School Community,

Ι am excited and honored to be the Principal of St. Demetrios Greek-American School in
Astoria, the only Greek-American school in the U.S. that covers all grades from
Preschool through High School.

 

My educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that students deserve a safe,
supportive, caring, respectful, inspiring, and rigorous learning environment where they
can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Key to achieve this goal, for each one
of our students, is clear and effective communication between the school, students and
families. Together, I know we can further expand on the school’s successes and create
even more opportunities for all students to thrive.

 

St. Demetrios Greek-American School is deeply rooted in the Orthodox Christian faith,
Greek language and history, and Hellenic values. Our school offers a uniquely inspiring
educational system that’s rooted in the Ancient Greek phrase “Αἰὲν Άριστεύειν,”
translates as “Ever to Excel,” which inspires students to work hard to reach their full
potential. Through targeted, individualized support and a rigorous college-preparatory
curriculum, every student is guided to their pursuit of academic excellence.

 

The acceptance of our recent high school graduates to Ivy League universities is a
testament to the rigorous academic instruction, variety of innovative teaching methods,
and our committed, dedicated, professional and knowledgeable educators.

 

St. Demetrios Greek-American School is also more than a school. It is a home, a family
and a community where students, faculty and staff as well as religious leaders come
together to help produce well-rounded future leaders of modern society.

 

Thank you for entrusting us with the education, growth, and well-being of your most
precious gift—your child. We look forward to taking this journey together and celebrating
their future successes.

 

Sincerely,

 

Vasilios Skordas
Supervising Principal
St. Demetrios Greek-American School

ΔΗΛΩΣΗ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΗΣ:

Ο σκοπός του ελληνοαμερικανικού σχολείου του Αγίου Δημητρίου της Αστόριας είναι να εφοδιάσει τους μαθητές με άρτια ακαδημαϊκή κατάρτιση που στηρίζεται στις χριστιανικές αξίες, τις ελληνικές ιδέες, τη γλώσσα και τον Πολιτισμό.

Επιδίωξή  μας είναι να σμιλέψουμε και να ενδυναμώσουμε το χαρακτήρα των παιδιών, αλλά και να καλλιεργήσουμε την κριτική σκέψη και την δημιουργικότητα. Όλα αυτά επιτυγχάνονται μέσα σε ένα περιβάλλον όπου σε κάθε μαθητή δίνεται η ευκαιρία να αξιοποιήσει τις ικανότητες του και να διακριθεί.
