ENVIRONMENT

Evaluation of academic and social skills helps to understand and analyse the real educational process and enhance the level of education.

The evaluation of students are both summative and formative (helps to evaluate student understanding at a point when timely adjustments can be made).

EVALUATION

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.

If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn’t thinking.

George Patton

The introduction of STEM curriculum and the introduction of new courses including Science and Engineering starting from an elementary school is new experience in Armenia. 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.
