History of Eurgubian Academic Center
The history of the Eurgubian Academic Center dates back to 1990. The center's director, Stephen Eurgubian, started out by tutoring one single student in his room at his parents' home. In 1996, the "Eurgubian Academic Center" was opened at 6740 North West Ave, Suite 104, Fresno, CA 93711. The Academic Center since has developed into a full service learning center, educating students of all ages and in all academic subjects.
We have worked with thousands of individual students over this period and with students from agencies such as the US Army, Fresno Unified School District, Fresno County Office of Education, and Foster Youth Program. The Eurgubian Academic Center has always stood by its belief in providing the finest educational opportunities available to your child.
The center's staff is highly knowledgeable with over 75 years of combined experience. At the EAC, our focus is on your continuing education and we look forward to being a part of your future.
