Both my kids go to St.John's Orthodox Academy School. It's a small private school that provides students with a healthy, warm environment to foster the academic and spiritual growth of our kids. The focus in this school is on Orthodox education and religious emphasis. Small class size enables the well-qualified,

Although this is a small school, it's academic achievements are stellar. There is a real drive within the school to instill the importance of community service in the minds of the children. Which, I think is lacking in public schools. Also, as an Orthodox Christian school the formation of morals and
