“In the lives of the saints there are very many marvelous examples of how a youth becomes a holy youth, a pupil becomes a holy pupil…”

-St. Justin Popovich

Admissions FAQs

  • Applications and Enrollment for the 2025-2026 School Year will officially open March 15th. Spaces are limited, so save the date! Email our office for additional information at office@toamarietta.com

  • $350/month for the first child and $335/month for additional siblings, paid over 10 months (Aug-May). This is comparable to other hybrids in the Marietta area offering similar programs.

    Application Fee: $25/child

    Books: Parents are responsible for purchasing the curriculum for each student’s classes. TOA will provide a booklist upon receipt of each student’s registration packet and registration fee payment. Parents are encouraged to find used copies of curriculum books. A list of recommended school supplies will also be provided to families.

    Uniform: TOA will provide a uniform list of acceptable uniform pieces and resources for purchasing. TOA is committed to keeping uniforms affordable.

  • At the moment, we are striving to keep our tuition costs as reasonable as possible, and are unable to offer financial aid (other than sibling discounts) at this time. If you are interested in sending your child, but have a financial need, please contact us and we can try to connect you with potential available resources.

  • We fully recognize that a hybrid model is not the best fit for all families. That said, we still feel that it’s important for us to encourage families to balance the scale a bit when it comes to the amount of time spent at school, at home, and at church. Statistically, the average child in the state of Georgia spends 35 hrs/wk in school. On average, according to one recent study, children spend a mere 5 hours of face-to-face time at home with their families. And finally, children spend no more than 1-2 hrs/week on average at church. Even if hybrid education is not for you, we encourage you to consider having your children spend a bit more time at home and at church and perhaps a bit less time at school (for extracurriculars etc).

  • The three streams of influence which create a truly educated person from an Orthodox perspective are the church, the home, and the school. For education to be transformative, all of these influences should be working as actively as possible on a child’s mind, heart, soul, and body.

    In the hybrid model of education, parents are seen as their childrens’ primary educators, and the home is the primary educational environment. That said, the beauty of the hybrid school is that it exists to empower, support, and equip parents to fulfill this sacred vocation in a way that is manageable and even enjoyable given their often busy and hectic schedules.

    In the hybrid school model, students meet 2-3 (Tuesdays and Thursdays for us) days per week for in-person classes at the school campus in all the core subjects as well as enrichment classes (art, music, etc). They have the opportunity to experience a robust communal life, a liturgical rhythm, and the invaluable student-teacher relationship that supports and complements their experience at home. The balance of the week is spent at home with their parent(s)/families working on the assignments sent home by their teachers, giving them the crucial hours of face-to-face time with their immediate families that is often lacking in conventional educational models.

    The hybrid school acts as a bridge between the church and the home, supporting both and connecting both to one another.
