It tends to surprise many people as to why we offer our classes for free. Yes, yes, yes... Completely free of charge. Well, we have a philosophy of our own.
We believe that it is the right of every single child to learn his or her mother tongue, to be able to learn the important lessons from history, and to be able to enjoy the jewels of the Armenian culture regardless of their socio-economic background.
Remaining true to this ideal for over 3 years (our free classes started in September 2007), today we have over 60 students in our classes. The children come from various walks of life and love learning at their school. Their stories are truly amazing. In just few months our students not only being to read and write, but many of them on their begin to write poetry in Armenian about the school, make videos about the classes(see below), and continue to convince us that the future of the Armenian people is brighter than its past.

Children from age 6 to 18 are welcome to join our classes, based on space available.
