Odyssey Greek Language and Cultural Program
is looking forward for the 2017-18 school year. Again this year we will offer Greek classes and different cultural events for a variety of skill levels and age groups. There is still time for new students to be enrolled in our program!
Odyssey
offers Introductory/Intermediate/Advance classes for young children, high school age, college and adults. Several area Middle/High schools and colleges now provide Foreign Language credits for successful participation in our program. Also,
Odyssey
participants who have passed the Greek language proficiency test have placed out of
Introductory Modern Greek
classes at the college level.
This academic year we have 7 students from our community getting foreign language credits from their respective Middle/High schools. The class schedule is set up based on the students’ availability.
If you are interested in learning Greek or just improving your Greek language skills, the
Odyssey Program
offers an enjoyable learning setting and new/attracting textbooks for your children. Language is taught by incorporating and exploring important features of Orthodoxy, Greek culture and tradition, focusing on everyday conversations.
If interested, please contact the
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church
office at (517) 482-7341. If you have any other question/concern, feel free to call the Odyssey’s director,
Zana Litos

Lastly, I would like to congratulate our students and teachers for the beautiful
OXI Day
program. A thank you note goes to all the parents for organizing the Coffee Hour. We appreciate very much your support!!!!
