The founders of the school, the
brothers Krikor and Garabed Melkonian, had a great vision. By building =
this
school in 1926 and handing over its govern=
ance
to the Armenian General Benevolent Union, they helped hundre=
ds
of Armenian youngsters, who came basically from the Middle
East, fulfill their dreams. But in recent decades, students
have been coming from around the world not only for academic excellence=
but
also to better acquaint themselves with the rich Armenian heritage and
culture.
