TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School was founded in 1981,[2] by The Tekeyan Cultural Association, Inc. The aims of the founders were to educate Armenian children using the California State Curriculum, teach them the Armenian language and culture, and prepare them for a productive life in the Armenian and American societies.
The school is named after a prominent Armenian-American philanthropist, Arshag Dickranian, whose contributions enhanced the mission and the activities of numerous organizations in Southern California, including the Arshag Dickranian Armenian School in Hollywood.
On the Inauguration Day of September 10, 1981, there were 44 students enrolled from kindergarten through 4th grade. By adding a class each year, TCA Arshag Dickranian School has enjoyed a steady population growth. The school has also expanded its premises over the years and the two most notable expansions are the new building with its various facilities and the new basketball field.
The school's mission is to prepare students for success in a changing and challenging world by offering them a strong value-centered education, instituting a diverse and comprehensive educational program, offering a well-planned curriculum and bringing forth the student's Armenian identity.
In June 1990, the school presented its first High School Graduating Class of 16 students. The graduates of the school have formed an Alumni Association to support their Alma Mater.
TCA Arshag Dickranian School was accredited by The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2006.
