Help Us Secure a Permanent Home for ST. SAVA ACADEMY
We aim to raise $3.2 million to secure a permanent home for St. Sava Academy, covering the purchase and essential transition expenses. Achieving this goal will provide a stable, innovative environment for our students and ensure a lasting legacy in the community.
St. Sava Academy is raising funds to secure a permanent home by acquiring the St. Paul Lutheran Church and School property.
The $3.2 million target will cover the purchase price, laying the foundation for a state-of-the-art educational facility.
This investment will not only provide a stable, inspiring environment for our students but also strengthen community ties and ensure a lasting legacy for future generations.
The Academy provides instruction in either Serbian or Russian.
As a parochial school of the Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, we serve students from Pre‑Kindergarten through 8th grade, supporting academic excellence, cultural heritage, and spiritual development.
