At Koraes, our primary goal is to promote intellectual development, reinforce cultural awareness and social responsibility, and foremost, to inculcate the moral and ethical values of the Orthodox faith.
Our students are prepared to think critically through a challenging curriculum, communicate effectively through a bilingual language arts program, and act independently in preparation for life in a complex society with an accelerated rate of change.

The school is fully recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, and the Ministry of Education of Greece.
Faculty members hold at least a baccalaureate degree, some have graduate degrees, and all are fully certified by the State of Illinois.
Our dedicated, highly competent teachers assure each student individual attention in a friendly, nurturing environment, yet challenge them with a demanding program of the fundamental scholastic disciplines.
