Enroll Today
Enrollment at St. Sava Academy begins at the preschool level and continues through eighth grade, welcoming families into a close‑knit learning community. Our small class sizes create a supportive environment where each child receives personal attention and meaningful guidance. Led by a dedicated and experienced faculty, students benefit from strong academic instruction enriched with the traditions and values of an Orthodox upbringing.
Alongside their studies, students grow spiritually through participation in church services, communion, confession, and daily prayers. This balanced approach nurtures the whole child—mind, heart, and spirit—ensuring a well‑rounded education rooted in faith, culture, and community.

🐄🌾 Field Trip to Historic Wagner Farm! Historic Wagner Farm
Our students had a wonderful hands-on introduction to agriculture at Historic Wagner Farm! They met farm animals, learned about the important jobs people and animals do on a farm, and even tried some farm activities themselves — from grinding corn and feeding chickens to making butter! 🐓🌽🧈
A fun day of learning, exploring, and making memories beyond the classroom! 💙

📚 St. Sava now has a Little Free Library, thanks to a generous donation from the Đurić family!
Stop by the new installation outside Door 4 to share books your family has finished and discover something new to read.
