Arshag Dickranian is a private Armenian School in stationed in Hollywood, California.

This educational institution includes nursery school, kindergarten, a middle school, and a high school. The school has had over 300 graduates and currently holds about 318 students.

The Tekeyan Cultural Association Building Committee had planned to establish an Armenian Day School in Hollywood as early as January 1979. Within a few months, the Committee acquired four houses located at the North-East corner of Cahuenga Blvd. and Lexington Ave., thus setting the site of the Arshag Dickranian Armenian School. Inauguration took place on August 30, 1981, and two weeks later started with 44 students, enrolled in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. The first group of High School graduates was the class of 1990. Since then, Arshag Dickranian School has been operating with a capacity of around 340 students, ranging from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade.

The Tekeyan Cultural Association is named after Vahan Tekeyan, an Armenian poet.
