Principal's Message
Dear Families,
Welcome to C. & E. Merdinian Armenian Evangelical School, where our faith in Christ, our Armenian heritage, and academic excellence converge to create an enriching educational journey for students from Preschool through 8th grade. As both an alumnus and the proud parent of three children—one of whom recently graduated—I can personally attest to the fundamental and transformative impact of our unique approach to education.
At Merdinian we believe that each child is created in God's image, endowed with unique gifts and talents waiting to be developed and nurtured. It is our sincere commitment to meet every individual’s needs, recognizing and celebrating their unique gifts while grounding a learning environment that empowers them to reach their utmost potential.
Since 1982, our bilingual curriculum has seamlessly integrated rigorous academics with the rich heritage of the Armenian language and culture, deeply penetrating in our students a sense of identity and pride. We believe that education extends beyond the classroom. Through a variety of extracurricular activities and community service opportunities, our students learn the importance of compassion, leadership, and service to others. Our dedicated teachers and staff, who are integral partners in achieving our goals, are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to explore their interests and develop their talents.
We invite your family to visit and see our incredible school firsthand. We are confident that it will make you—and your child—eager to become a part of the Merdinian family!
In His service,
Shogher Shanoian ‘00
