ABOUT US

Mission Statement
The St. Athanasius Little Halos Bilingual Day School is committed to providing children with a quality education that emphasizes social, emotional, academic, cultural, and spiritual development through play, and both emergent and didactic curricula.
Our belief is that children are active learners, explorers, experimenters, storytellers, and artists. In our child-centered classrooms, children have many opportunities to learn about literacy, numeracy, democratic and empathetic citizenship, as well as Greek culture and Orthodox religion.
They accomplish this through play, the fundamental building block of academic learning for young children. All learning occurs in a Greek/English bilingual context as it fosters the building of creative and flexible brains and minds.
