A word from the Headteacher
“Let's share the fruits of our culture.”
It is my distinct privilege to serve as the headteacher of the KTACSS. For over forty years, our school has stood for the Armenian community in Britain — creating an Armenian-speaking environment where children may broaden their interest in our culture and become engaged members of the diaspora.
