ABOUT
The Taniel Varoujan Armenian School has been in existence since 1969,
under the auspices
of the Armenian National Educational Committee (ANEC) of the Eastern
Prelacy and the Armenian Relief Society.
The school has played a major role within the Chicago community by educating
the Armenian-American children in Armenian history, grammar, reading,
writing and conversation, thus preserving the Armenian language. Students
are also exposed to Armenian music, religion and poetry. The children
are encouraged to build strong and meaningful relationships with their
peers, which often blossom into lifelong friendships.
School enrollment is consistently at
95-100 students with 15 teachers and assistants.
Locally, the Zabelle Chapter
of the Armenian Relief Society and church Board of Trustees sponsor
and support the school to provide todays students and students
of coming generations with the best Armenian education possible.
