In 1989 Ofelya Arakelyan has founded "Moscow" multicultural school, in Russia's capital Moscow and heads it till today. Initially 30 children of different nationalities learnt their mother tongue, national songs and dances.
Today children of 15 nationalities are attending the school.
"Currently, 200 children are studying here. More than 100 of them are Armenians. Two hours per week they are studying Armenian language and history," she said, adding that it is not enough for having good knowledge of the language. She said many of the pupils are attending private classes to improve their knowledge.
The multi-cultural school is financed by the state. Arakelyan said previously the state was funding cultural clubs as well but refuses to do so now.
Arakelyan said the graduates of the school receive same certificates like the ones graduating from Russian schools.
