Diversity Statement

Annunciation Orthodox School believes that diversity enriches a school community. We respect racial, cultural, ethnic, physical, religious, socioeconomic, and philosophical differences in our students, faculty, administration and families. We celebrate our individuality and encourage a climate of mutual interest and respect, in accordance with our Christian values. Our commitment to diversity prepares our students to interact and communicate effectively with a spirit of understanding and compassion in an increasingly global society.

Why I Serve

"To raise a servant leader, I must be one. Serving is itself a gift. Pouring my time and energy into those that pour into my child is a high honor for me as a parent."

- Jein Gadson

"To preserve and support AOS’s ability to educate curious and compassionate children who will change the world one heart at a time."

- Anthony Gracely
