“My son can focus so much better in a small class size with an individualized plan. St. Nicholas Orthodox Academy is able to provide him with that. The classical curriculum is excellent, and I like knowing that he is in a safe environment with a Christian viewpoint. At St. Nicholas, my son doesn’t feel like he needs to change his personality to fit the mold of mainstream secular society. Students are encouraged to think creatively, pursue their interests and reach to their full potential.”

“I’ve been Orthodox all my life, but never really understood what that means. Father Paul makes Orthodox teachings come alive. I finally understand what it means to be an Orthodox Christian. Father Paul explains things from Scripture and the Church Fathers in ways that make total sense and actually apply to my life.”

“My child has always had trouble fitting into a school environment. For some reason, he is a bully magnet. Also, he excels beyond his grade level in some subjects, but really struggles to keep up in other subjects. I have pulled him out of several private schools, either because he was being bullied or because the school just wasn’t meeting his academic needs. I home-schooled him for a while, which worked academically, but was a really lonely existence for him. He is thriving both academically and socially at St. Nicholas Orthodox Academy. I couldn’t be happier with the education he is receiving. I am thrilled that he has a group of friends who are good kids and who accept him as he is.”
