  ONGOING EVENTS
As with every year during the late months of winter, cultural activities at the Hellenic American Academy have reached a feverish pitch.

The end of January found students from the Academy’s schools and the Academy’s adult choir, participating impressively in important occasions celebrating Greek Letters Day.

February and the months of spring that follow, is a significant period in which activities are intensified in preparation for the end of the year programs.

Here is a list of the cultural programs and happenings that truly emphasize the Academy’s commitment to Culture and the Arts:

  • Almost daily after school drama classes for kids 7-18 years old preparing their performances for the middle of May, 2008.
  • The Adult Theatre Group of the Academy, rehearsing two plays: «Ζητείτε Ψέφτης», (“Liar Wanted”), by Dimitris Psathas, to be performed at the beginning of May and «Ένας Ιππότης Για Τη Βασούλα», (“A Knight for Vasoula”), scheduled for the beginning of June.
  • The Academy’s Adult Choir, under the direction of Dimitris Marinos, rehearsing a program dedicated to the music and songs of Manos Hadgidakis, for late May performances.
  • Bouzouki lessons, every Saturday for kids and adults, beginners or bouzouki players who would like to develop their craft.
  • Soon to be formed: Children’s Choir, Byzantine Choir & Hellenic Traditional Dance Group.

HELLENIC AMERICAN ACADEMY HONORS MOTHERS AT GALA


"Mothers: Dedicating their Hearts, Nurturing our Minds" is the theme of the Hellenic American Academy's Spring Gala. This year the Gala will be on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at the Evanston Golf Club in Skokie, Illinois. (click here for a map and directions)


The Hellenic American Academy is a unique private elementary school offering high academic standards in a dual language, Orthodox Christian learning environment with a focus on Hellenic culture and ideals.


Mothers are the first teachers. They lay the foundation for all future learning. The program at the Gala includes musical and theatrical performances by the students and teachers honoring their mothers. Music for the evening will be provided by Apollo Sounds, featuring Dimitris Marinos on the bouzouki. Special guest speaker Polyvios Margias from Athens, Greece will discuss the role of the mother in Homeric times. A silent auction featuring some unique items will also be held. A fun evening of Homeric proportions is planned!


The Academy is affiliated with Holy Trinity Hellenic Orthodox Church in Chicago, Illinois. The Socrates Day School, founded in 1908, is part of the Academy and is remembered fondly by alumni all over the US.
