Γεια σας!
We are Fay and Maria and we started the Olive Tree Greek Educational and Cultural Center, an independent online and hybrid/Saturday face to face Greek School six years ago after working for many years in community Greek schools.
✨Fay (left) is from Athens, Greece and holds a double BA in Early Childhood Education and American Studies. In addition to the Greek School, she currently works as Assistant Director at Cadence Academy Preschool. She is mom to three year old Olivia and loves coffee and French fries.
✨Maria (right) is a middle school Spanish teacher at South Shore Charter Public School and holds a Master in Spanish and a Master in Teaching Greek as a Second Language. She is mom to three teenage boys, Yanni, Petros and Alex and loves music and Mexican food. This year she will be presenting the seminar “Heritage Learners: Differentiated Instruction and Alternate Assessments” at ACTFL 2023.
💜 We believe in teaching children in an inclusive and loving environment where they feel comfortable to take risks in a language class.
🥰Greek School is our happy place, where we get our Starbucks on Saturday mornings and teach our beautiful language and culture. 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
