Ari Guiragos Minassian School, Santa Ana | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We love Ari Guiragos Minassian school! We have 3 children currently attending AGM and we are grateful for the educational, cultural and social foundation AGM has provided our kids.

We recognize that Southern CA has the best schools, but no other school could have provided our children with the unique experience they received by being a part of the AGM family. Our children are receiving a comprehensive and well-rounded education plus developing a strong Armenian identity, which we value. We believe that our children have gained confidence by having their Armenian identity.

Our kids are confident and secure because AGM is a second home to them. AGM has nurtured them while providing cultural, spiritual and intellectual enrichment. All three of our children can read, write and speak Armenian, recite traditional poems, perform plays and have an expanded knowledge and love for their heritage. It’s a unique educational experience.

Our kids love their school and the lifelong AGM friends that they have developed since preschool. The memories and friendships they have made from AGM are for a lifetime. We are confident that the sacrifices we have made by commuting to this school were worth it because we will never be able to provide them with this type of unique educational and cultural experience after their elementary years.

Our daughter will graduate from AGM this year. Although we are very sad to see her journey with AGM come to an end, we are grateful that she has the confidence and readiness to move on to her next chapter.

We have two students enrolled at Ari G. Minassian school and our experience has been extraordinary. I can sum up our commitment and dedication to the school by saying that we commute an average of 45 minutes, each way, daily. The school provides not only an exceptional education, unparalleled sense of community, and bilingual curriculum, but it provides all of that under the guidance of teachers and administrators who take the time to engage with these children individually, connect and communicate with their parents, and truly strive to make every day a joy of learning.

I’ve heard other parents complain that their child is merely “a number” in larger classrooms throughout the county. At AGM, the opposite is true. Not only does the small classroom size afford my children individualized attention, but fosters the most unique sense of family amongst classmates. Coupled with a priceless immersion into the Armenian culture, this is everything a parent could hope for in these formative years.

As I commute a distance to be part of this special experience, so do many of these educators, a testiment that this program is special not only to those attending, but to those shaping it.

We moved to California two years ago and I can honestly say that, despite the perfect weather and beautiful surroundings, AGM is the TOP reason we have felt at home in Orange County. We are truly blessed to have found it, and we look forward to many years in the AGM family.
