An OCS Education Is Built to Excel From Kindergarten Through Grade 12
What Makes an OCS Education Different
Most schools teach students what to think. OCS teaches students how to think. The difference starts with Greek language and classical Hellenic education, a proven framework that builds stronger readers, stronger thinkers, and stronger people.
OCS is the only Greek dual language immersion K to 12 school in the United States. That is not a marketing claim. It is a fact that shapes everything: the curriculum, the culture, the outcomes, and the community. Immersion students at OCS, comprised of 55% minority students and 99% non native Greek speakers, outperform the state on standardized testing by 140 to 200% in ELA and Math.
This is what bilingual education done right looks like. And it is available to every Delaware family, free of charge, with no entrance tests and no Greek background required.
Two Ways to Learn Greek at OCS
OCS offers two Greek language program tracks. Both are designed for non native Greek speakers. Both run from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The difference is in how much of the school day is taught in Greek.
Greek FLES
(Foreign Language in Elementary School)
In the FLES program, students receive all core academic instruction in English with dedicated Greek language and Math in Greek classes every day. This track builds strong Greek language proficiency alongside full English academic development. It is the default track for all students entering Grades 2 and above.

Immersion
In the Immersion program, 50% of core academic content is delivered in Greek and 50% in English through a two teacher model. Math, Science, and Greek Language Arts are taught in Greek. ELA and Social Studies are taught in English. Students who begin the Immersion track commit to continuing through their entire enrollment at OCS.
