Mission

The Direct Archdiocesan District Office of Education provides curriculum guides, materials, and in-service training to the administrators and teachers serving in the day and afternoon schools of the District.

The Office has been an avid advocate for the New York City parochial Greek Orthodox (or faith-based) day schools, representing the schools – and the Archdiocese - to the education authorities on the federal, state and city levels. As a result, the Office has been instrumental in securing federally funded services and materials for the day schools, thereby benefiting thousands of students.

The director of the Office is a member of the New York City Standing Committee of Religious & Independent Schools Officials, comprised of representatives of the City's major religious institutions, as well as a member of the New York State Commissioner’s Advisory Council for Nonpublic Schools.

Curricula & Examinations

Webquests on Greek Culture

The Webquests below, designed under the direction of the Archdiocesan District Office of Education, are designed to help students gain a richer appreciation of the Greek language and culture. Students are able to engage in interactive, inquiry-based learning activities with or without the help of an adult.

Webquests are also intended for classroom use and teachers at all levels are encouraged to use them. Please contact the Archdiocesan District Office of Education for any comments or suggestions at [email protected]
