Our mission is to serve the Armenian-American community and the broader public by providing a high-quality academic program in which students are educated through a bilingual curriculum, becoming Armenian-Americans confident in their identity, fluent in English and Armenian, appreciative of both their cultures and well-prepared to become productive members of society.
Within the safe, nurturing environment of KZV, parents have a partner in raising articulate, well-rounded children, committed to strong values, personal achievement, and progress for their community and humanity.
KZV offers a challenging and competitive academic program in all curricular areas.
We strive to recognize each student as a unique individual and to promote a supportive learning environment, fostering creativity and self-esteem.
Beyond our high academic standards, we seek to instill a sense of pride and admiration for the Armenian culture, religion, and traditions, and to nurture the values embodied within them, while developing an appreciation for all cultures of the world.
