About Our School:

In August of 2000 the Pope Shenouda lll came to Nashville and visited and said that Nashville needed a Coptic School . So, after careful planning in August 2001 St. Clement was founded by Fr. Boutros Boutros. The first principal for the school Fausta C. Curatolo M.E.d, for five years and Dr. Angela Bishra during the school year 2006-2007. St. Clement is the nation’s first Coptic Orthodox it is named after a theologian who served as dean of the church school of Alexandria, Egypt, and died in A. D. 215.

In November 2005 Bishop Youssef of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States came to visit St. Clement and stated that there is a link between education and salvation , knowledge and faith. The Coptic Church’s beginnings are rooted in the teachings of St. Mark , a disciple of Christ, who took Christianity to Egypt in the first century A.D., according to church tradition. The local Coptic community consists of about 2, 500 people. Last year, Father Boutros Boutros, taught a Coptic hymn class, and a Coptic language class. The students attend Liturgy every Wednesday. Long-term goals for the school will be to continue to grow in student enrollment enough to expand to accommodate high school students."I am committed to seeing that all students receive a solid academia program while attending St. Clement" Mrs. Hunt, school principal says.

I am, infact passionate about the growth and development of all students.
