St. Sava Orthodox School

The Holy Orthodox Church and its School have a mission to care for future generations of children and for the fulfillment of the teachings established by our Founding Father St. Sava.
King Solomon wrote: "The crown of old men is children of children, and the boasting of children is their fathers." (Proverbs, 17:6-7).
St. Sava Orthodox School is the place where the teachings of both, St. Vladika Nikolaj and King Solomon, are realized and practiced.
This is the place where all of us are committed to providing a superior academic program, where all students will be nurtured to learn and develop spiritually, morally, and intellectually to their fullest potential, within a safe and caring Serbian Orthodox Christian environment.
