Q: What is The Hovnanian School?
A: We are a private, multi-lingual, non-profit, non-sectarian, co-educational Day School accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Classes range from the Early Learning Center through the Eighth grade. Professional multi-language instruction is offered from the earliest grades through the transitional years of junior high school.
Q: Who may attend the Hovnanian School?
A: We accept all applications for grades ELC-Eight. Any child who has turned three years old by September 1 may apply for our Nursery. The Hovnanian School offers an Early Learning Center (ELC) for children that are too young to enter Nursery, that features learning through age appropriate activities. Early Childhood at Hovnanian School is not treated as day care, but rather as an environment of active instruction. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds available spaces, priority is given to siblings of students enrolled in the Hovnanian School. |

Q: What if my child doesn't speak, read, or write Armenian?
A: Children who enter the Hovnanian School at a very early age achieve mastery of the Armenian language, both written and oral, regardless of their exposure to the language.
