HPASS – Halton-Peel Armenian Saturday School
HISTORY & MISSION
In the spring of 2005, that a small group of parents came together with the vision of starting a Saturday Armenian School in Halton-Peel. This vision is now a reality, with 55 registered students who attend the school each Saturday.
Each Saturday it is a pleasure to see happy children, full of enthusiasm, immersed in a truly Armenian environment, learning the language and the culture, and most important becoming aware of their Armenian heritage.
The Mission Statement of our school is to educate our community children in the culture, traditions, and language of Armenia, in a fun and motivating environment.
Our governing values are :
- > to foster the Armenian cultural heritage and language
- > to support and assist parents in preserving their Armenian values
- > to teach the children to read and write Armenian
