The ARF Sebouh Gomideh is proud to share an important initiative led by Hamazkayin Washington, as our community explores one of the most meaningful educational projects of our generation — the establishment of a new Everyday Armenian School (Pre-K to 5th grade) serving families across the Greater Washington region.
Hamazkayin has launched a brief community survey to help measure interest, identify the optimal location, and understand tuition expectations as we collectively assess the feasibility of creating a high-quality Armenian day school in our region. If realized, this program would provide our children with paid, accredited teachers and a standardized, modern curriculum, including the possibility of a dual-language or immersion model comparable to leading Spanish and French bilingual programs.
This effort aligns deeply with our shared mission to strengthen Armenian identity, preserve our language, and build institutions that will serve future generations. A strong response from parents and community members will directly shape next steps — including planning, investment, and long-term educational vision.
Why This Matters
The Greater Washington Armenian community has experienced significant growth in recent years, with increased participation in cultural, educational, and youth programs. Establishing an everyday Armenian school would mark a historic milestone: a permanent institution dedicated not only to language instruction, but to cultivating confident, well-rounded Armenian students grounded in culture, values, and academic excellence.
Who Should Complete the Survey
- Parents with children ages 0–11
- Families considering Armenian-language education
- Community members interested in supporting or volunteering
- Anyone with thoughts on location, tuition, or program design
Your voice matters — and participation takes only a few minutes.

A Collective Vision for Our Future
As the community evaluates this opportunity, ARF Sebouh Gomideh strongly encourages all families and supporters to participate. The data gathered will guide critical decisions and help determine whether our region is ready to take this transformative step toward establishing a permanent educational home for the next generation.
Together, let us continue building the institutions our children deserve — and the Armenian future we all believe in.
