Great school, it provides my 2 children with a wonderful safe place to go to school and thrive. Strong academics as evidenced by its excellent college admissions. The elementary school helps the children create lifelong friendships with a strong sense of culture.

The Armenian diaspora is ever-increasing as current times of war and conflict arise in the homeland. Tension has brought the community together, especially to those who have fled to California. Holy Martyrs Armenian provides a safe, welcoming home to the Armenian youth of Southern California with the purpose of providing amazing education and service opportunities to blossom well-rounded citizens.
