Abune Gorgorios II Academy(AGA)-Chicago

Abune Gorgorios II Academy – a model teaching mechanism to augment the routine Sunday school teachings and to ensure the passing of the Orthodox faith to the next generation in the US. The Abune Gorgorios II Academy is meant, to help children to know the apostolic teachings of the EOTC, to assist them to grow spiritually and enable them to be the future servants, scholars and leaders of the church by providing syllabus based afterschool and weekend teaching programs in addition to the regular Sunday school sessions. Most importantly, it is aimed to be a resource to fill the gap between the needs and wants of the kids and youth and the service provided by EOTC in North America. The academy is expected to provide service in all MK sub-centers in the United States. Within few years of the start of the EOTC teaching to kids born and being brought up in the US, significant and encouraging results are observed among children enrolled in the teaching program.
