Our Achievements

Our staff participated in Microsoft Innovative Teachers program. One of

our teachers participated in TEA program. Students took part in different

competitions and programs such as Safe Internet, Volunteer work(Red

Cross), Olympiads , Eco programs and received prizes. Our students are

given chances to enter international colleges.

Innovative practicesThe school ensures a very much democratic environment, where every

student has an opportunity to express his/her opinion, suggest

solutions and initiate changes. Both the administrators and teachers

are open to collaborative projects, are team players, are proactive and

initiative. The administrators of the school promote and create

conditions for everybody to try and fail without shocking penalties.

One of the innovations in Armenia was the introduction of STEM

curriculum. The introduction of new courses including science and

engineering starting from an elementary school is new experience in

Armenia, which makes the teaching task of educators a challenging

experiences with lack of appropriate materials and resources.

Innovative practices

The school has also implemented a course of "computer" in the

elementary school, where teachers working collaboratively aim at

developing child's creative thinking with the use of very basic programs.

They create, draw cartoons, fairy tales, create their own heroes etc., And

later share with their parents with the help of the Internet.

Innovative practices

The school is aiming at: - getting already tested worldwide practices of creating an

innovative school culture,

- getting new innovative ideas of projects that intensify the

collaboration of education stakeholders and intensive use of

ICT,

- ensure a stimulative environment for the leaders to develop

international cooperation projects involving students, teachers

and administrators.

What do you want to achieve

as a pathfinder schoolsThe program will help the school to get closer to the vision mentioned

above by:

- learning worldwide best case practices,

- accelerating the process with the help of international and diverse

network.

- share the accumulated experience and build on the existing ideas with

the international perspective.

- being the only school to teach science in our region we hope that our

students will achieve results in making explorations, investigations,

analyses.
