Initially there were 19 students and a staff of three teachers. It is run by the Armenian General Benevolent Union and privately financed through student tuitions, donors, fundraising events, sporting venues, etc. With about 680 students, it is the second smallest Armenian private school in the Greater Los Angeles area. The school was founded in 1976 and has been accredited by WASC since 1990. Instruction is in Armenian and British English. In 2006, the AGBU established an Armenian satellite high school in Pasadena to serve that city's Armenian community to which the campus ultimately closed in 2020.
