of Armenia’s history, tracing the early civilizations
and cultural advances that have formed the social
construction of our students’ rich traditional
heritage. Students use the Armenian Virtual
College to support their classroom learning.
In addition to class-based activities, the whole
College Community gathers to commemorate
events such as Vartananz, Independence Day,
Tarkmanchats, and the Genocide, while more
light-hearted activities such as dressing up for
Paregentan and painting Easter eggs teach
students some of the older cultural traditions.

in late September and undertake a tour which
includes visits to key historical, architectural and
cultural sites. This trip allows students to not
only develop an active and informed relationship
with their homeland, but also allows students to
return home with a new found sense of maturity,
