  • History of the Armenian Sisters Academy the Armenian Sisters
    History of the Armenian Sisters Academy The Armenian Sisters Academy of Radnor, PA is one of three Armenian day schools in the United States directed and managed by the Armenian Sisters Academy of the Immaculate Conception; in Radnor, Boston and Los Angeles. In the early 60’s, Armenians from the Middle East came to the United States because of either civil war or turmoil in their own countries. Therefore, the Armenian Sisters followed their people and built their schools to educate the new generation of these immigrants. Founded specifically for the teaching apostolate, the Armenian Sisters have never abandoned their original commitment. At the request of Monsignor Stephen Stepanian, Pastor of St. Mark’s Armenian Catholic Church of Philadelphia, in 1963 the Sisters came to establish an Armenian day school. The greater Philadelphia community were delighted to have an Armenian school where the rich Armenian culture and language could be preserved and passed on from generation to generation…where children could be taught love of their heritage as well as a love of learning…where the “whole” child could be educated in a loving and caring environment…where the highest possible educational standards would prevail and where Christian values and the faith of our forbearers could be taught. The dedication and professionalism of the Sisters was becoming widely recognized in the Armenian community. The dream of providing area youngsters with a quality education while helping to perpetuate the Armenian language and culture became a reality. In May of 1975, cornerstones for a new school building were blessed by clergy of the area’s five Armenian churches, and in the incredibly short time of five months construction was completed.

  • 2015-School-Directory-FINAL.Pdf
    This booklet is designed to be used as a guide only. A listing in this guide does not guarantee a school’s eligibility for CSFP funding. The school descriptions contained in this directory were submitted by participating schools. CSFP is not responsible for the content of the descriptions. Introduction Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision that should not be entered into lightly. This School Directory was designed to help you begin the process of finding a school that is the right match for your child. Picking up this guide is a great first step, but there is a lot more work to be done. You should start researching potential schools for your child now. Many schools have deadlines, and others fill to their capacity before the school year begins. The longer you wait, the fewer options you will have. Please keep in mind that CSFP has new eligibility requirements that schools must meet before they are able to receive scholarship funding from CSFP. Please call our office if you are not sure that a school is eligible. Before you begin any official research, sit down and think about what is important to you. Here are some preliminary questions that you may want to ask yourself before doing any investigating. o Would you prefer that your child attends a big school or a small school? There are pros and cons to both. o What are your child’s specific interests that you would like to see developed and addressed at their school? o What is your child’s learning style? o Are modern school facilities important to you? o Is student diversity important to you? Listed below are six other core areas to consider when choosing a school: 1.
