The Charlie Keyan Armenian Community School [CKACS] is seeking outstanding and experienced candidates for the position of Principal.

We are seeking candidates who have academic-administrative experience, enthusiasm to continue expanding our curriculum, and passion for working with children, teachers and parents.

With an anticipated enrollment of 170 students, the 2023-24 school year will be the pinnacle of a growth cycle we have experienced at CKACS. We look to continue that growth while maintaining our core values.
