Greek Orthodox Schools 

These two schools represent Astoria of the past, true in Greek culture. They teach both Greek and by the NYS standards.

St. Catherine and St. George School¹

This private Greek Orthodox Church primary school caters to pre-k through third grade on 22-30 33rd Street. It focuses on keeping classes small, with a 1:5 teacher student ratio for a personalized education experience. They focus on Greek culture, traditions, and language on top of their daily “American” standard lessons.
