The St. Nicholas community was founded and established as the first Greek school in Newark. A tradition of Excellence Throughout its long academic history, our school has educated thousands of Greek American children. These students not only learned to read, speak and write in the Greek language, but also gained an immense appreciation for our history and culture. These children grew up to become productive citizens of our country, such as doctors, lawyers, artists, politicians, writers, teachers and business people, to name a few. Our alumni happily continue this legacy by sending their own children to our school. Outstanding programs and instructors Our school offers seven grades - Kindergarten through Sixth grade. Our experienced teachers are certified in Greek language instruction. The goal of our school is to make learning the Greek language and culture fun. Throughout the school year, our students have many opportunities to participate in skits, plays, and monologues during celebrations such as "The Greek Letters Day", "Independence Day", and "Commencement Exercises". These programs reinforce the students' learning and showcase their stage abilities. We provide a safe and stimulating environment to learn the Greek language, culture and traditions. In addition to traditional classroom work, teaching methods include singing, dancing, and national holiday celebrations. Classes are offered for elementary school age children, beginning with those children who are of kindergarten age, and adult beginners. The school year runs from September - April, with classes meeting weekly. For more information, please contact the Kypros Andreou at kypros@ssnch.info
