About international schools in Armenia

Armenia now has a small but growing group of schools authorised to teach International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes, so families should expect a limited but increasing choice rather than a large market. The country hosts both day schools in Yerevan and a residential IB college in Dilijan, and you will find the IB Diploma Programme widely offered with a few schools also authorised for the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes. Instruction is commonly delivered in English for IB classes while Armenian is maintained as a required language and Russian or other languages are often offered as additional language options. Fees and entry arrangements vary: some state-linked or local IB providers charge annual tuition in the low millions of Armenian dram, whereas residential or fully international providers publish substantially higher two-year or annual charges and offer significant scholarship support; most schools follow a September - June academic year with admissions windows and testing in the spring and summer months.

FAQs for Armenia

Which IB programmes can my child study in Armenia?
You can find the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP and DP) at at least one Armenian institution, and several other schools offer the Diploma Programme for students aged 16 - 19; other schools offer PYP or DP depending on their authorisation. IB authorisations in Armenia are held by a mix of local education complexes and international colleges, so check each school’s published programme list before applying.
What language will my child be taught in, and will Armenian be covered?
IB classes in Armenia are most often taught in English at the DP level, though some schools deliver parts of the IB in Armenian and make Armenian language and literature compulsory; Russian and other language options are frequently available as additional languages. If your child is not yet fluent in the school’s working language, ask about English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) or language support programmes and how Armenian lessons are scheduled.
How much do IB schools in Armenia typically cost?
Published fees vary widely: locally based IB programmes can publish annual tuition in the low millions of Armenian dram, while residential or fully international providers publish much larger sums (for example, one residential IB college publishes a two-year package cost). Many schools publish detailed price lists or fee guides and some - especially boarding or international colleges - operate substantial scholarship or bursary schemes, so always request the current fee schedule and any extra costs such as transport, exams or boarding.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Most IB schools in Armenia follow the national academic calendar (entry in September) with admissions testing, interviews and document deadlines in the spring and early summer; some schools run additional later rounds or rolling applications. Typical steps are an application form, placement testing (academic and English), an interview and submission of previous school reports and ID documents, but exact requirements and timelines vary by school so confirm dates with each school’s admissions office.
How should parents compare IB schools in Armenia when relocating?
Look first at which IB programme(s) the school is authorised to teach, the language(s) of instruction and the school’s English-language support; then check published fee schedules, scholarship availability and whether the school is a day or boarding provider. Also review pastoral and academic support (SEN/EAL), university-counselling services for Diploma students, and whether the school’s assessment and reporting match your expectations; ask for recent programme authorisation status and the school’s IB policies when you visit.
