The Archangels Greek School was founded in 1928 and was originally located on Elm Street in Stamford. In 1958, a new building was built at Bedford & Third Streets, the same building we use today. The children at that time would attend Greek School everyday. Father George Poulos would pick them up from their homes to bring them to school. Today’s busy lifestyle only affords a once a week Greek School for pre-school through eighth grade.
Our Mission
The mission of the Archangels Greek School is to teach our children the Greek Language and the Orthodox Christian tradition and faith while leading them to understand and assume their responsibilities in the shaping of a better Greek-American community.

School Hours
The school operates Monday through Friday, 4:00pm-6:00pm. An annual school calendar is established by combining the Stamford Public School system calendar (to follow school vacations) and Greek Holidays. During inclement weather, the Greek School does not follow the Stamford Public School system. Parents can always check with their teacher or the Church office for class cancellations. Snow days and sick days are not made up.
