The teachers and administration of Shnorhali School have developed programs that combine textbook-based learning, individualized lesson planning, and rich cultural content. Each week, teachers prepare lessons and materials that not only build language skills, but also introduce students to prominent Armenian artists, writers, poets, composers, scientists, and important historical events.

The Conversational Armenian Program continues to be an important part of the school curriculum. It gives students the opportunity to practice Armenian with a native speaker, helping them develop fluency, confidence, and everyday communication skills. The program is helpful for students at different levels, as each child is able to speak, listen, and express themselves in Armenian within an environment suited to their abilities.

One of the important new developments this year is the revised three-level Kindergarten structure. It was created to better meet the needs of children of different ages and Armenian language levels. Each stage of the preschool program gradually develops the child’s Armenian vocabulary, listening and speaking skills, cultural awareness, and readiness for the next level of learning.

In addition to Armenian language, culture, and religious education, the school also offers 30-minute history and music classes on an alternating weekly schedule. The history classes are taught by Haykaram Nahapetyan, who introduces students to important topics in Armenian history and meaningful stages in the formation of Armenian national identity. The music classes, led by Armine Khachatryan, introduce students to Armenian musical heritage, from folk songs to the works of well-known Armenian composers.

The school also offers extracurricular clubs, including Chess, Armenian Miniature Art and Bird Letters, Narek Bells Chorus, Spiritual Choir, and Acolyte  Training. These programs complement the main curriculum and give students opportunities to create, collaborate, and develop their interests.        

Beyond regular classroom instruction, Shnorhali School also provides students with additional learning opportunities through school events, performances, recitals, and cultural programs. These activities extend learning beyond the classroom and allow students to apply their knowledge through Armenian speech, song, music, presentation, and community participation. By taking part in these programs, children build confidence, develop creativity and collaboration, and strengthen their connection to the Armenian language, culture, and identity.
