It is a blessing to see St. George's Church School continues to strive every year.  This is due to dedicated teachers who are committed to teaching the foundation of the Antiochian Orthodox faith of the Sacraments, Feast days and the Orthodox faith, even virtually during Covid-19.  St. George's Church School meets during the school year for children in preschool through 8th grade that meets following communion of the Divine Liturgy in the church hall.  We learn about the Orthodox faith through lessons, music, & crafts.   

Fun family events are scheduled throughout the year such as game nights, educational guest speakers, an annual Christmas program, snow tubing, Easter egg hunt, and graduation ceremony.

Another activity our children participate in every year is the Creative Arts Festival at our annual Parish Life Conference which takes place in different cities within our Archdiocese. The theme is different each year and is chosen by

Metropolitan Saba. The children can choose how they would like to present their projects whether it is a creative arts drawing, poetry, photography or mixed media. They are awarded with first, second and third place and honorable mention and are recognized at the awards bruncheon at the Parish Life Conference.
