Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in New York City, New York, to Start Greek School Classes September 19

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in New York City will begin its Greek School classes on Saturday, September 19, according to reports from The National Herald and the Orthodox Observer. The school year runs through Saturday, June 12, 2026, with weekly Saturday classes.

The school serves students from preschool or Pre-K through twelfth grade. Each week it offers two sessions, one from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. and another from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The Orthodox Observer reports that the curriculum supports learners of all backgrounds and proficiency levels and includes lessons on Greek history and culture in addition to language learning. The National Herald describes the curriculum as teaching the Greek language while emphasizing Greek history and culture.

Fr. Sotirios Michalatos, the parish priest, said the church’s goal is to help students keep a strong connection to their Hellenic heritage while thriving in American society, passing that heritage to the next generation (Psalm 78:4).

According to the Orthodox Observer, tuition is $1,550 for the first child, $1,500 for the second and $1,450 for the third. Reduced tuition is offered for subsequent siblings to encourage participation among multiple children in a household. The National Herald report does not list tuition amounts.

The Orthodox Observer also reports that the school year concludes on June 12, with a graduation ceremony scheduled for Sunday, June 13. The two reports differ in how they describe the church’s location. The Orthodox Observer places it on Manhattan’s Upper West Side at West End Avenue and 91st Street, while The National Herald gives the address as 302 West 91st Street on the Upper West Side.
