Even though KZV is an Armenian Prelacy school, ethnicity and religion is not required in the application process. All that is asked is best-effort participation in all classes. Remember that research in the field shows that bilingual education fosters stronger cognitive development. Performance in these classes will not affect the overall grade.

Pre-K is split into three groups, based on the age of the student as of September 1st of the school year. The Yellow Group is for students who are 2.5 to 3 years old, the Red Group for 3 to 4 year olds, and the Blue Group for 4-5 year olds. Kids who are 5 years old by September 1st are eligible for Kindergarten. Notice that all kids should be potty-trained by the first day of class.

We ask that all kids be potty-trained by the first day of classes. We understand however that kids in the Yellow Group or even older may have “accidents” occasionally.

Completed Registration Package including Registration fees are due by April 29th. Packages can picked-up at the KZV Office, or downloaded from the website.

Please visit our Admissions page for further instructions.

School costs are divided into two main sections: Registration and Tuition. See the chart below:

Busses are not available. KZV relies on parents to drop-off and pick-up their kids.

Parents also help during field trips. You can sign-up with the room mothers to drive your kids along with as many other students as you can legally fit in your vehicle. Parents should drop-off car seats for the driving parents. This is a great way to participate in your kid’s school life, while meeting your 40 yearly participation hours.

KZV understands the plights of modern families in the Bay Area, typically with two full-time working parents. As such, before and after-school day care is available, in a supervised room, where students are encouraged to do their homework. This is available for kids in Preschool-8, for a nominal hourly fee. Morning hours start at 7:00 am, and afternoon hours end at 6 pm.

KZV’s Hot Lunch Service is offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday through PTA. Your child will enjoy a wide variety of hot and cold choices all prepared with a commitment to providing the students with a well-balanced, nutritious meal
