Our Story

A Legacy of Education
Rooted in Faith

Founded on the principles of the Greek Orthodox Church, Soterios Ellenas Parochial School has been a cornerstone of education in Brooklyn since 1980. Our name — meaning "Savior of Nations" — reflects our commitment to raising students who lead with purpose, compassion, and intellectual curiosity.

We believe that education is more than the accumulation of knowledge. It is the cultivation of character, the strengthening of community, and the nurturing of a lifelong love of learning. Every child who walks through our doors is known, challenged, and supported.

Soterios Ellenas gave our daughter the foundation she needed — not just academically, but in character and faith. The driving school was the perfect complement: patient instructors who truly cared about her safety and confidence. We are grateful for everything this community has offered our family.
