Our School Mission
We offer classes from Preschool up to the 8th grade and prepare students for State exams (Greek Regents). The classes take place on Friday from 4:15 PM to 6:15PM for the Middle School, and on Saturday from 10:00AM to 1:00PM for Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Elementary School.
At the Hellenic School “Stephen & Areti Cherpelis” of the Saint Nicholas community in Flushing, which was founded in 1957, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, nurturing, and dynamic learning environment where students embrace the rich cultural heritage of Greece while cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and academic excellence. Our mission is to inspire a passion for lifelong learning and global citizenship, empowering our students to become ethical, thoughtful leaders who respect diversity, engage with the world around them, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through a balanced curriculum of academic rigor, language mastery, and cultural enrichment, we aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals who honor their traditions while shaping a brighter future.
Our teachers, all educationally trained, impart their knowledge with love and dedication. Our classes are small, and the lessons designed by our educators are always tailored to the level and needs of their students.
