/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy of
Kolkata has a rich historical past and is one of the oldest
educational institutions in the Armenian Diaspora. Today it continues
to strive forward with enthusiasm and energy. The Mother See of Holy
Etchmiadzin nurtures the institution under the love and guidance of
His Holiness Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of all
Armenians.
Fr. Khoren Hovhannisyan the newly appointed pastor of Armenians in
India and the Manager of the ACPA – together with the Church wardens
of the Armenian Holy Church of Nazareth have not spared any effort to
upgrade this historical institution of Kolkata.
Currently the ACPA has students from India, Armenia, Iran and
Iraq. The school helps them to imbibe knowledge and preserve the rich
heritage of the Armenians.
As in the past, this year too, eight students from the ACPA have
obtained their school-leaving certificate. Out of the eight students,
six of them who are from Armenia and Iran have been admitted into some
of the leading schools of Kolkata to continue their studies for the
ISC Exams. Four of the them – Yehranuhi Arakelyan, Andranik Gevorgyan,
Karen Lazarian and Armen Makarian are studying in La Martiniere and
Gagik Chilingaryan and Aden Davoody in The Assembly of God Church
schools. The remaining two students – Gor Gevorgyan and Ejmin Sahijani
have returned to join their families.
The doors of ACPA are always open to welcome the Armenian students.
