How it All Began

In 1996 a group of faithful Orthodox Christians in the Boston area met informally about the possibility of starting an Orthodox school. A committee was formed which investigated what interest existed, and it was decided that the best way of beginning an Orthodox school would be at the preschool level and to then expand to a full elementary school. The committee, with great effort and the help of the Holy Spirit, then proceeded to lease a site, hire qualified Orthodox teachers, recruit students, and secure the required state and local licensing. 

In September 1997, Theophany School, an inter-Orthodox Christian school, officially opened its doors with two class levels, a Preschool class for three year olds and a Kindergarten I class for four year olds. Seventeen children were enrolled in the two classes for the 1997-1998 school year.

The School has spent the past twelve years building confidence in the minds of parents and the community that the School is a thoughtful and reputable educational institution. The School's plan of steady and thoughtful horizontal growth has paid off. Parents have consistently enrolled their children in the School, knowing that their children will receive high quality education while in the love and warmth of an Orthodox Christian environment. Parents of alumni return to tell us what an excellent preschool education their children received, and how well prepared their children have been for kindergarten, surpassing by far children from other preschools.  We look forward to a time in which becoming a full elementary school will become a reality.  For now we are proud to be a successful and thriving preschool and kindergarten.
