How many of you here went to a private Armenian high school?

[leo007]

I know there are quite a few in the LA area like Ferrahian, Pilibos, Manoogian-Demirdjian, and others.
A few people I've met that went to Armenian private high schools really didn't like the experience at all (although they probably wouldn't have liked the experience of a public high school either). So to those that have been to Armenian private high schools: how did you like it?

I did not go to a private Armenian school but my mom oversaw that I learn to read and write Armenian and I went to Saturday schools at Church. However, I do not like public schools either and if I was a bloodthirsty killer I would kill them all.

I went to pvt Armenian high school, but not in L.A.

I went to public schools because my parents really wanted me to be "americanized". I can read and write very little Armenian. This is the sadest post ever.

I hated it when i was there, but since I left I realize that it was better then anything for me.

I went to Alex Manoogian in Montreal from kindergarten to 8th grade.
I can say that when I left for a french-canadian private high school, I was more than ready, and adapted easily.

I still hate the way they teach Armenian though....uuuuugghhhhh

I had a few lessons after school (public), one of the teachers that i had for a short period of time , taught me the alfhabet, in a fantastic way. the letters were assosiated with animals, and taught in a very artistic way.Salut to Baron LEVON!

I'm not. Granted I could have gotten a lot further with a good public school education given all the advanced, AP, honors,and gate programs that they have, but I think I fared pretty well given the poor level of college prep they had at Ferrahian.

The only thing I hate about Armenian schools is the snotty pretentious stuck up snobs. But I guess there are plenty of them everywhere so I can't really hide from it anyway.
