Elementary School
Elementary school is a critical time for young minds, situated between the early stages of childhood and the developmental milestones of adolescence. From kindergarten through 5th grade, our dedicated, award-winning teachers guide students in building a strong foundation of academic excellence, rooted in the values of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Through a Christ-centered education, students not only develop academically but also grow in faith, compassion, and moral character. Our curriculum integrates the rich heritage of the Armenian language, history, and culture, fostering a deep sense of pride in their Armenian identity.
