WELCOME TO ST. MARY SHNORHALI ARMENIAN SCHOOL
The Shnorhali School is the primary educational organization within St. Mary, aimed at instilling and teaching the love of God, pride in our Armenian language, national identity, and culture.
The goal of the school is to teach the Armenian language and the basics of culture in order to help our children and families live authentic Armenian Christian lives and become active members of our community.
The school is proud to serve the Greater Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland communities, and is comprised of two curriculums: one dedicated to Christian Education and the other to Armenian Language and Culture. This uniquely unified program provides school children from K-12 an excellent opportunity to learn about their Armenian Christian heritage.
