The Greek School at Holy Trinity has students ranging from ages five to eighteen. New students must be five by Oct. 1st to be able to enroll. Classes meet once per week. The length of the lessons depends on the level of the class, with 30 minutes for the youngest and 80 for the oldest. Students who maintain consistent attendance and growth will be given the opportunity to take the Ellinomatheia proficiency test (with the possibility of earning a seal of biliteracy) and the National Greek Exam, for those who develop an interest in Ancient Greek.
