Armenian Mesrobian School

Mesrobian is an incredible school with a very rich history. The school has unfortunately faced some trials & tribulations in the past decade, however, over the past 2 years, with its new administration, new principal, and excellent/ qualified faculty, many changes have taken place. Immense improvements & positive changes have been introduced in the administrative and academic processes of the school. Recently, the Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC) announced that its Accrediting Commission for Schools has renewed the accreditation for Armenian Mesrobian School. The renewal decision was based on the final report of the WASC visiting committee, whose members visited Mesrobian School on May 1, 12 to review the school's progress. In its final report, the visiting committee noted the "significant progress" Mesrobian School "has made in responding to the critical areas for follow-up and in carrying out the related action plan." The report, among other commendations, stated that the "Visiting Committee was very impressed with the amount of progress Mesrobian School has made in a very short time." -Quality education -Qualified faculty -Armenian education -Safe environment

Excellent education prepares students for life after school. School is known for sending their best and brightest to premier universities, such as USC and UCLA. Mesrobian, in 1965, became the first Armenian school in the United States. The school is a family-environment, clean, and safe.

Armenian Mesrobian School supplements an English-based curriculum with Armenian language and history studies. Currently, 2 of my 3 children are enrolled, and have been since pre-K. I plan to enroll my youngest in the fall. The tuition is reasonable for a private school, however you must donate time and/or additional monies for fund-raisers. The administrative staff and faculty provide a safe and challenging academic environment. Beginning with 2nd grade, the expectations are demanding, with little support for children with special needs. The inverse is also true for children who excel beyond his/her grade level in one or more subjects. Middle and High School course electives and extra-curricular opportunities are limited. This is probably due to the School s lower than usual enrollment, high teacher turnover, and limited budget and resources. Class sizes average below 20 students. I can recommend it only in contrast to most of the schools in the district.
