SATURDAY COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS (K-8)

The various Heritage and Language Education programs of the Greek Community of Toronto.

Our Saturday comprehensive programs are incredibly popular with our families. At Panagia (West Toronto), St. Demetrios (Central), and Odysseas Elytis (Scarborough), we offer classes on Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm.

These comprehensive programs are designed to rapidly advance our primary students' reading and oral skills, laying a strong foundation for higher grades. With 120 hours of instruction per year, our proven Greek literacy curriculum for students in grades JK/SK–8 follows an explicit, systematic approach that accelerates the growth of striving readers and nonreaders.

By integrating instruction across key literacy strands, including foundational skills, writing, vocabulary, fluency, grammar, comprehension, and spoken Greek, our engaging activities motivate all students to achieve a high level of Greek language proficiency and considerable success in the Ellinomatheia exams.
