Saint Basil Academy

Saint Basil Academy is a national not-for-profit philanthropic center which provides love, shelter, food, education, protection, and “a home away from home” for children. Saint Basil Academy ministers to the mind, body and spirit. Our mission is to facilitate shelter, protection, love and education our youth, so they grow up to be healthy, wholesome, well-rounded Orthodox Christians, as well as productive members of society with vision and hope. The Saint Basil Academy child population is made up of children from the Academy’s on campus programs: the Youth Program, the Bridge Program, the Family Program. The Youth Program serves children from 6 years to 18. The Bridge program is an independent living program for post high school 18 years of age and older. The Family Program children come from broken families where the mom is homeless and needs shelter and support. To avoid the trauma of separation from the mother, Saint Basil Academy provides food and shelter to the children while helping the Orthodox mothers become self-sufficient, educated and well-rounded Orthodox parents. Saint Basil Academy also serves faithful of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and other visitors from around the United States. Per our mission, it is our larger responsibility to serve and support the congregation of priests, laity and youth in our Orthodox community through our community training center. If our Orthodox congregation and community thrives, so will our children.
