Summer Courses

KALLINIKEION Intensive Modern Greek Language Program

The Kallinikeion Modern Greek Language Program at Hellenic College is an intensive summer program sponsored by the Kallinikeion Foundation. The program offers two courses in Modern Greek, one at the Beginning and one at the Intermediate level. Each course meets M-Fri 9-12 and 1-4 throughout August (8/15 HC/HC holiday) offering 120 hours of instruction in Modern Greek and 6 credits towards graduation. 

Furthermore, the Kallinikeion Institute offers a unique cultural and academic experience, as it provides the students with opportunities to explore Greek culture, music and literature through HC/HC resources. In the inspiring Boston academic environment, the Kallinikeion Institute students combine their study of Modern Greek with visits to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, traditional Greek music concerts, Greek poetry recitation and other educational events. 

All full time students from Hellenic College and/or Holy Cross are eligible for a full scholarship covering tuition, room and board, and all the other benefits of the Kallinikeion Modern Greek Language Program. The program is open to outside students as well, depending on availability. If you are planning to enroll at the Kallinikeion Program please note:

1. Registration deadline for the August 2008 session (M 8/4-Fri 8/29/2008) is 5/9/2007. Please contact the Registrar of Hellenic College for more information.
2. Students wishing to enroll in Intermediate Modern Greek I & II at the Kallinikeion Program must have a grade of B or higher in Beginning Modern Greek II or equivalent.
3. Incoming first year graduate students at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology who take Beginning Modern Greek I at the Kallinikeion Program cannot take the follow up course, Beginning Modern Greek IIa, in their fist fall semester due to schedule conflicts. Therefore, it is advisable that they enroll in the Kallinikeion the summer before their second year of studies.
4. Two $500 Kallinikeion Academic Excellence Awards, one for Beginning Modern Greek I and one for Intermediate Modern Greek I & II, are awarded to the student(s) who excel academically in their course.
