A Collaborative Environment
We are collaborative school where staff, families, Father Gerasimos and Board Members put the needs of the DGK students first!
3K & Pre-K For All
Our 3-K & Pre-K For all program are designed to meet the needs of young children and offers activities in which a child can experience success in any area and at every level of development. Our program enriches and enhances each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical, and creative development. Within the center’s daily schedule, each child is presented with opportunity to create and explore their environment which develops problem solving skills.
Kindergarten
At DGK we believe every child is unique and that learning is an individualized and an ongoing process. We recognize our opportunity and mutual obligation to develop within each child the skills, virtues and habits of heart and mind needed for the challenges of an ever changing society. Through mutual respect our students will grow and learn in a positive atmosphere, where faculty, staff, parents and students together are enthusiastic about the learning process.

Middle School
Our Middle School philosophy is designed to prepare students to excel in their high school years ahead. The physical, social, emotional and intellectual changes of 11-14 year olds occur at different rates during this time of transition.The Middle School provides a program of all the necessary educational skills while allowing for individual growth and development in personal discipline, self-motivation, and independent learning.
Yellow Bus
Service
We currently offer yellow bus service via OPT for our K-8 grades. Transportation eligibility is based on a student’s grade level, walking distance between home and school, and existing accommodations based on a medical condition, housing status, or safety assessment.

“The philosophy of my leadership has been, and continues to be, “Children First” and to “Build Community.” This can only be accomplished through a clear concise collaboration between and among the principal, school, parents and Board Members. When we keep our focus on our goal…what is in the best interest of our children…then great things happen! Together, we can and will continue to make your children’s educational experience a most valuable one!”
— Frederick M. Tudda, Principal
