Information Event

November 28, 2024

Join us for an information day on the 11th January 2025 between 15:00-17:00. This event is for anyone who wants to know more about the school, not just for prospective parents. We will start with a presentation by Bishop Raphael of Ilion about the importance of Orthodox Christian education in Scotland today. This will be followed by a presentation by our trustees and a question and answer session. Learn more about:

  1. What Classical Education is.
  2. What a normal school day will look like and how we will deliver excellent learning to our pupils.
  3. The progress we have made towards setting up the school.

Bring your friends, bring your questions. Light refreshments will be provided. Join us for what we hope will be a very interesting conversation about Christian schooling in the contemporary context. There will also be an opportunity to browse our curricular resources.
