SUNDAY SCHOOL
We invite children aged 4 to 16 to the Sunday School of
St. Nicholas Cathedral
The Sunday School of St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York has been operating since 2011.
The main purpose of the Sunday School is not only to teach the younger generation the Law of God, but also to nurture love for God and neighbor and to teach the practices of Christian piety. Classes are taught in Russian, which gives children the opportunity to make up for a lack of communication with their peers in their native language.
Classes are held on Sundays from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM (with a break for the children to attend the service and receive Communion, if the parents wish).
The school program includes:
– The Law of God and Bible History
– Catechism (instruction in the Orthodox faith)
– Lives of the Saints
– History of the Orthodox Church
– Literature and Russian Language Lessons
– Development of Speech and Literature
Applied Arts:
– Choral and individual singing
– Drawing and Crafts
– Theater studio
Traditionally, the school holds performances on feast days, and the children take part in competitions, festivals and plays, which helps them discover their talents. The school-year program also includes outings to interesting educational and cultural events outside the church.
