The first day of school at St. Sava Academy was marked by a cherished tradition as the students, staff, and classrooms were blessed with holy water, setting a spiritual foundation for the academic year. The ceremony, led by the clergy, emphasized the importance of faith, education, and community as the school welcomed back students for another year of learning.
Two decades ago, St. Sava Academy began its journey with just a handful of students—barely a dozen—attending its classes. The modest beginning reflected the humble but determined efforts of our community to create a place where our children could receive a quality education grounded in Orthodox Christian values and Serbian cultural heritage.
Fast forward to today, and the Academy’s enrollment is nearing 200 students. This growth is a testament to the unwavering commitment and vision of the founders, clergy, educators, parents, and community members who have worked tirelessly to build and support the school. The Academy’s success is a significant accomplishment for our community, proving that dedication to educating our children yields profound and lasting benefits.
The blessing of the classrooms and students not only sanctifies the space but also serves as a reminder of the Academy’s mission: to nurture the minds and spirits of young people, preparing them for a life of faith, learning, and service. As we celebrate the beginning of this school year, we also celebrate the achievements of St. Sava Academy, a beacon of education and faith that continues to thrive and grow, enriching the lives of our children and strengthening our community for generations to come.
We extend our heartfelt wishes to the principal and staff of St. Sava Academy for a good and prosperous year ahead. May this academic year be filled with growth, success, and joy as they continue their vital work of guiding and inspiring our students. Their dedication and passion are the foundation upon which our children’s futures are built, and we are grateful for their unwavering commitment to excellence in education.
