Our Mission/Vision
Here at Greek Language Institute at AMC, we are committed to the preservation and acceleration of the Greek language for our next generation. Through an evidenced based curriculum, nurturing and age-appropriate instruction, we aspire for our students to reach their full potential in speaking, conversing, reading, and writing our Greek language. Our students learn through weekly classes immersed in Greek language curriculum, as well as religious, cultural, social, and project-based learning experiences. We are devoted to passing down the following Greek Orthodox legacies and building blocks to our students:
Philotimo “φιλότιμο”: honor, dignity, and pride in themselves, their families, their community and their culture.
Arete “ἀρετή”: always striving for excellence, finding fulfillment of purpose, and practicing the act of living up to their full potential through our school, allied ministries, and our faith.
Afosiosi “αφοσίωση”: Dedication, devotion, loyalty and commitment to the Orthodox Church Greek language/culture, forming long lasting bonds and friendship.
Traditional Greek (Pre-K through 6th Grade)
The Traditional Greek program at AMC offers a pleasant and nurturing environment where children of all ages can come together to embrace their dream of learning the Greek language, honoring the Greek Orthodox Faith, and discovering the cultural roots and traditions that define and preserve our Greek identity.
In addition to the grammatical, structural, and syntactic aspects of the Greek language, students become acquainted with Greek Mythology as well as various historical events ranging from, Ancient, Byzantine, and Modern Greek History.
Our lessons in Greek are enriched with lessons in traditional Greek dance from various parts of Greece, as well as Choir practice where children learn hymns and songs that define Greek pride and culture. Music and dance are an intrinsic part of our Greek school celebrations and display the personality, color, and heritage of our timeless Greek culture.
