Our language program offers classes in Eastern and Western Armenian for non-speakers and those who already have a strong foundation in the language. Students learn how to read and write depending on their developmental and skill level with skilled teachers who are devoted to carry on the Armenian language into the next generation.

Students at St. Sarkis Sunday School develop a strong sense of our history as the first Christian nation. They learn about heroic battles and the origins of our cultural traditions.

For Armenians, culture and religion are inextricably linked. We teach through interactive programs that foster an appreciation for our religious beliefs through Bible stories, our delicious food through cooking lessons, and celebrates culture through a strong dance and choir program. You will be amazed to see your children singing in Armenian during our performances.
