Armenian as a Second Language

The Armenian as a Second Language (ASL) program is for students who need special attention in the Armenian language and is offered for a maximum of two years.  After completion of the ASL program, students are placed in their respective grade-level Armenian class. 

Our extensive and demanding four-year ASL program taught in Grades 9-12 corresponds to the first four-year foreign language program taught at other high school levels.

-To repeat a failing course

-To make up credit deficiencies and/or complete college admission requirements
