    "This will be our last year at the Armenian Sisters Academy. I believe that the new principal does have the best of intentions, and I certainly wish her well. We tried to" weather the storm so to speak, over the last five years. But we are still unimpressed with a few teachers, & the math and English writing curriculums. Perhaps this is all fallout from the economic issues and prior administrative decisions. What I do know for sure is that we are moving on. Also, if I may share a personal thought about a lack of Christian congeniality and kindness among select group of volunteer mothers I personally experienced - who have charge of many fundraisers and extra curriculars at the school. I had hoped that this would be one of the things to change with the new administration. Though I can't say this is a reason to pull my children out, I am looking forward to be among more welcoming and perhaps a bit more "Americanized" parents at my children's new school. Compared to when I attended the school, (many years ago) even the Armenian classes taught to my children were basic and parochial. For us, as Armenians, sadly, this school did not provide the complete package. Thank you."

    "The school has undergone a lot of exciting changes since the last batch of reviews were written that are worth noting. One of the school's beloved nuns has returned as principal and has ushered in a new era at the school. She has had many consultations with parents and makes a concerted effort to address any concerns. She has also inaugurated a Strategic Planning Committee to assess and continue to improve all aspects of the school. The school has a committed group of teachers who go above the call of duty for the good of the school, which keeps its tuition significantly lower than many other private institutions to remain accessible to all. Also exciting is that for the first time since the school's earliest years, the eighth grade class is planning a year end trip to Armenia to cap off their time at the Academy. The many changes have infused excitement into the school community and is definitinely worth considering in regards to any enrollment decision."

    "I just can't give this school a glowing recommendation because I spent extra money and time to supplement my children's math and writing skills so that they would be at baseline for high school. They were always A+ students and academic excellence recipients at the ASA; but in the bigger picture, they were under average in some core basic skills. This was a real eye opener for me. I always believed that private school education was so ahead of the curve. Turns out I was very wrong. Luckily we pulled through it and my kids are doing great. I read the many reviews, it doesn't seem as though the school has yet resolved some of the same issues we also experienced. They do a good job with the whole Armenian thing, and I wish them well."

    "My husband graduated from this school. I sent my chlidren to this school based his his positive input and experiences. The truth is that the school fell below my expectations on many many levels. It was not the kind and Christian environment I envisioned for my children. I pulled them out (before 8th grade). Three wonderful nuns left the school the year we left. I won't go into the reasons for their departure since I have to adhere to an objective format. However; I will say that the Principal and the current administration & board have a lot on their plates with regard to the challenges this school is facing. I hope they succeed because I admire and respect the concept of an Armenian day school that perpetuates the language and culture."

    "I'm so sorry but I just don't think this is a very good school because (in my opinion and personal experience) it lacks basic standards regarding communication. I was hoping that we could last at ASA because I completely love the idea that Armenian language is taught. In my experiences and my children's daily experiences, any negative input or challenging questions - ranging from curriculum to general FAQ's are frowned upon. It has become apparent (to us) that the administration and some faculty are not ammenable to open lines of communication. I can't recommend any school that tries to discourage parents from having constructive, open discussion. Luckily, our child is completing the Montessori program, and we have other plans for elementary school. Really, I'm so sad that it hasn't worked out for us as we hoped it would."
