Azerbaijani Weekend School of DC Area

Azerbaijani Weekend School of D.C. Area has proudly been offering Azerbaijani Language, Culture, and Arts classes to the kids of the Azerbaijani-American Community since 2015. Our school is serving children aged between 6 and12 according to their individual needs.
