Certainly, all our teachers are not only licensed but also possess advanced degrees and education certifications.

Our commitment lies in delivering a comprehensive curriculum that nurtures the complete development of students, encompassing their minds, souls, hearts, and bodies. Our aim is for students not only to comprehend but also cherish the beauty that manifests in every subject.

The subjects covered at ASA comprise mathematics, grammar, literature, writing, logic, history, geography, science, faith, Latin, Greek, art, music, and physical education.

Yes, we have a dress code that includes specific requirements for uniforms. Students are expected to wear burgundy polo shirts with navy slacks (for boys) and navy jumpers/skirts (for girls). 

For more detailed information on our dress code policy, you can refer to our handbook. Additionally, we offer a uniform exchange cabinet where gently used uniform items are available.

We strongly recommend that parents enroll their children for either five half-days or five full days each week to ensure a consistent learning environment. Older students, in particular, benefit from attending full days, as it allows them to receive additional one-on-one support in the afternoon and participate in specialty classes like Greek and Music.

It's worth noting that younger students who initially start with half-day programs may eventually express a desire to stay for the entire day during the year. This is a positive sign and doesn't indicate a lack of desire to be at home. Instead, it signifies that your child has acclimated to the learning environment and craves the educational benefits they receive.

No, it's not required. We extend a warm welcome and hold deep respect for students from any religious background, tradition, or even those with no religious affiliation at all. Our ongoing commitment to embodying the essence of the Orthodox Christian faith in all aspects of our work at ASA is reflected in our dedication to embracing and respecting all students, in harmony with God's love for them and as an expression of His directives.

Please keep in mind that students will be expected to attend Orthodox Liturgy with respect, engage in the memorization of Scripture and prayers, and be exposed to the teachings of the Orthodox Christian faith, doctrines, and worldview, both directly and indirectly.

Just as with students who are not in communion with the Orthodox Church, it's important to be aware that your child will not partake in Communion during school church services. Communion is a solemn and profound practice within the Orthodox Church, and it's not uncommon for Orthodox Christians to abstain from it if they haven't undergone proper preparation.

Parents are encouraged to schedule an observation time with the lead teacher to visit the classroom. Our designated observation time occurs after 9:00 a.m., allowing the first half hour of the school day for the children to settle into their environment. 

It's important to note that a child's behavior may differ when a parent is present in the classroom. To maintain the integrity of the classroom atmosphere, we kindly request that you remain seated in the observation chair unless your child invites you to participate in an activity. 

Additionally, we ask that you refrain from engaging with other children. The morning class time holds great significance for the children's development and concentration, particularly at the beginning of the school year when they may be easily distracted from their work.
