Little Disciples K–2: Walking with Christ is a joyful catechism course for students in Levels K–2. Rooted in the life of the Church, this program helps our youngest learners grow in their love for God while discovering what it means to live as Orthodox Christians in the world.
Each week, students are invited to pray, read Scripture, meet the saints, learn the hymns of the Church, and explore the foundational teachings of the Faith. Lessons are simple, beautiful, and hands‑on, encouraging families to participate together throughout the week.
Alongside these practices, children are gently guided in the cultivation of Christian virtue—kindness, patience, gratitude, courage, generosity, and love—learning how these virtues shape their hearts and daily choices as they walk with Christ.
Through story, song, prayer, and wonder, Little Disciples helps young children begin building a lifelong friendship with Christ and a deepening connection to His Holy Church.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.

Petra Vaporis is a graduate of Hellenic College Holy Cross, where she earned a degree in Liberal Studies with a focus on Theology and minors in Literature, History, and Philosophy. She was the first ever recipient of a certificate of Sacred arts at HCHC. Her theological thesis explored Mary as an exemplar theologian through the study of Luke 1. Petra also holds an associate's degree in World languages from Middlesex community college, where she studied Arabic, Greek, and Italian. Scholé Academy has been an integral part of Petra’s own formation, as she was a student in middle and high school. This is where she first encountered Catechism and Byzantine Chant and was formed in the pursuit of beauty, goodness, and truth. As a teacher, Petra hopes to offer her students that same gift: an education rooted in wonder, love of what is good and beautiful, and a love of the Church. In her free time Petra enjoys pursuing her hobbies of iconography, calligraphy, music, fashion, and virtually anything creative. She is especially passionate about exploring ways with which one can be led to healing and wholeness, and ultimately toward God.
