People can be pens with which God writes His stories in the history of the world
The Beginning
We started our school in 2016, with just five children, in the room of a house belonging to one of the families that understood the importance of this endeavor.
The Growth of the School
In 2020 we added another step on the stairway to Heaven, by creating a high school section. Until then we could provide schooling for children between 3 and 12, but we did not want to impede their „flight”; as such“Saints Silouan and Sophrony” High School can now continue their education until they are 18.
At the beginning of 2018, we lived the joy of opening the headquarters of the “Saints Silouan and Sophrony” High School in Huldenberg, near Leuven, Belgium. For this, a loan was taken out to buy the building and a lot of work was necessary to equip it. We were helped both by people in our parish as well as many other people of God that found out about our intention from our fundraising appeals.
The Needs Before Us
In the future, new challenges lay ahead.
We need to:
extend our current space that is currently operating at maximum capacity;
build a gymnasium;
create laboratories for physics, chemistry and biology;
create a library and a study hall.
Our Hope
We have faith, for we know that all good and well pleasing things to God have existed in His mind since the beginning of creation. All people have to do is bring them to life, to embody them, as St Paul says.
Many of the greatest achievements of human kind were able to be built by uniting multiple people around an idea, through the faith and help of those who believed in this idea.

What People Are Saying
“This school is not an isolated institution, but a living work, growing within a united community. In the children themselves one can already see the beautiful fruits of this education, received in faith, love, and truth.”
VIRGILIU GHEORGHE
Bioethicist, scientist, and public figure
“What impressed me most deeply in these children is their living, luminous innocence — not naivety, but a beautiful and truthful way of being in the world. Here I found a clear confirmation of something I had long intuited: that faith and community are essential to the good growth of the child, helping form young people who grow beautifully, with discernment, inner freedom, and strength in what is good.”
