Mr. Ryan Maxwell
High School Head Teacher, 10-12th grade Chemistry Teacher
We chose to send our children to the AGBU Alex and Marie Manoogian School because of its commitment to teaching Armenian Culture and Language. Also, the focus on STEAM learning at a young age made the decision very easy. We are extremely happy with how our children are advancing at the Manoogian School.
