Chicago, September 2025 — St. Sava Academy in Chicago has proudly opened the new school year with the largest number of students in its history. The opening-day video captures the joy and excitement of teachers, students, and families as the community gathers to mark this milestone.
What’s New This Year
- Record Enrollment: This school year marks a historic high in student enrollment.
- A Joyful Beginning: The first day was celebrated with traditional blessings, a warm welcome for families, and greetings from school leadership.
- Faith, Culture, and Education: St. Sava Academy continues its mission of offering a strong education deeply rooted in Orthodox faith, Serbian language, and cultural identity.
Why This Matters
St. Sava Academy is more than a school—it is a pillar of the Serbian community in Chicago. Here, children receive not only a quality education but also the gift of preserving their heritage, faith, and language. Each year of growth reaffirms the importance of institutions like St. Sava in bridging homeland traditions with the lives of Serbian families in the diaspora.
Looking Ahead
As enrollment grows, so does the responsibility: classrooms, programs, and faculty must keep pace with the school’s expanding mission. With strong support from families and the wider community, St. Sava Academy is entering a new chapter filled with promise and opportunity.
Fr. Darko Spasojević, Rector of St. Sava Academy, emphasized:
“This record enrollment is not only a sign of growth but also a testament to the trust families place in our mission. At St. Sava Academy, we are building a future where faith, culture, and education come together to shape the lives of our children.”
A special thank you to Aleksandar Žigić for capturing and sharing this memorable video with our community.
