The school offers a performance-based educational program with a curriculum similar to that of U.S. public and private schools. Instruction, leading to individual mastery, takes advantage of small class sizes and the diverse educational backgrounds of the students. Instruction is in English. Courses include English, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, Russian, German, French, Armenian, computer, art and music. Soccer, basketball, karate, dance, boy scouts, girl scouts, chess, Armenian language, and other activities are offered as after-school activities. The elementary grades are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The School is fully accredited in the United States by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA). The school is also registered and accredited with the government of Armenia.
The school moved to a new location during August 1999 and was located above the office of a furniture factory. [1] It remained in that location until early 2011. The school relocated to a new purpose-built multi-story location in February 2011. The new building contains large classrooms for ages 3-4 through secondary level including classrooms for art and music, a modern science laboratory, a commercial-grade kitchen and food-serving area attached to a canteen/hall with stage, a large library, and an up-to-date computer lab. Phase 2 of the building process will see a gymnasium attached to the school. As in the former location, the new school has a security gate with 24 hour security personnel on staff.
