NEW YORK –  The Direct Archdiocesan District Office of Education is pleased to announce that this year’s Comprehensive Examination in Modern Greek will be administered on Tuesday, June 23rd, from 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

The District Office of Education prepares the Comprehensive Examination in Modern Greek according to the New York State Regents Guidelines for comprehensive examinations in modern languages. The Office is also responsible for the administration of the Examination to public and nonpublic school students throughout the State of New York as well as to students in other parts of the country.

In order to qualify for the Examination, students must be in the eighth grade or higher and have successfully completed three units of studies in the Modern Greek language.
