Parish School

Through the efforts of many people throughout the year our parish operates the St. Jonah of Manchuria Russian Orthodox school. At this school children study the Russian language, Russian history and Divine law.

Classes are held in the church hall (1800 Lee St., Des Plaines IL 60018) on Saturdays from 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon to 6:00 o'clock in the evening. Children from age 6 and up are accepted. The program of study includes the following subjects: Divine Law, Church Slavonic and Russian Language, Reading, History, Drawing, Choral Singing andĀ Folk Dancing. All classes are conducted in Russian. The school has a library that makes books written in Russian available. Other activities include drama, sewing and needlework. The school encourages pupils to attend church services on Saturday evenings and the Sunday morning Divine Liturgy. The girls sing in the choir and the boys serve in the altar.

For children from ages 3 to 6 a kindergarten is provided. Classes take place on Saturday from 10 o'clock in the morning to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 6 o'clock in the evening.

To enroll a child in school or kindergarten, or to receive more information about enrollment call Irina (708) 785-3939.

Glory be to God.
