The mission of St. Leon Armenian School is to teach our students to love, appreciate and embrace the Armenian Language, its Culture and History. We will inspire them to learn in so far as possible, to speak, read and write the Armenian Language in a nurturing and loving Christian atmosphere. We use the best possible teaching methods, materials and techniques in accomplishing these goals.
