Discover Our School

Taras Shevchenko School of Ukrainian Studies of Greater Washington is a Ukrainian Saturday school in Bethesda MD, established in 1963.

The main role and mission of our School is to raise conscious and spiritually rich young people of Ukrainian descent to become leading, worthy and proud members of the global Ukrainian community as well as to provide our students with unforgettable educational experiences.

We invite and encourage all children ages 3-16 who understand and speak Ukrainian, and are interested in expanding their knowledge of the Ukrainian language, culture, history and other subjects, to enroll in our school.

Classes, ranging from pre-K to Grade 10, are held in Ukrainian (with additional clarification in English where needed) and enable children to grow, learn, and play in a Ukrainian environment.

Classes are held on Saturdays, from 9 am to 1 pm, from September through May of each year.

We do not currently offer classes for adults.
