Florence, Arizona, November 15, 2018
Photo: threehierarchsacademy-az.org A new Orthodox school opened in Florence, Arizona earlier this year. Originally designed as a non-profit, small elementary school for about 20-25 students, Three Hierarchs Academy’s enrollment quickly jumped to 55 and the school expanded to being K-12.
Thus, the facilities originally acquired are already too small to accommodate the growing number of students and teachers, and the Academy is looking to move as soon as possible.
And thanks to the love of a generous benefactor, the school now has the possibility of achieving its goal soon. Thanks to this donor, every dollar given to Three Hierarchs Academy will be matched up to $75,000.
Watch the video below from Academy Headmaster Protopresbyter Peter Heers to learn more about the history and mission of the school and more about how you can help. Further information is provided below the video.
According to the school’s website, its mission is as follows:
As an Orthodox Christian Classical Academy, the Three Hierarchs Academy has as its mission to initiate its students into the Way, Truth and Life Incarnate, Who is Christ, the Light of the world.
The Academy’s mission is based primarily on two three-fold programs of academic and spiritual growth: the Τριτύς or Trivium of Grammar, Dialectic and Rhetoric, and the three stages of spiritual maturation: Purification, Illumination and Theosis.
The Academy exists for its students to be nurtured on the wisdom, truth and beauty of Christ and His saints, instructed in the Orthodox Way of being, immersed in the Greek language, intellectually trained in the Liberating Arts and Sciences, and thus prepared for a lifetime of spiritual and academic excellence.
