Ayb Is an Idea

The idea behind the Ayb educational movement is to transform human life and the future of our country through education. We believe that we can have a competitive and recognizable educational system in the international arena; thus we direct our efforts toward the creation and promotion of the best authentic Armenian education model. Each project or initiative implemented by the Ayb Educational Foundation and its fellow-thinkers and supporters aims at this radiant mission.
 

Ayb was founded in 2006 by visionaries who believe education has played a paramount role in their professional and life achievements and who wanted to help improve the educational environment in Armenia through joint efforts. Willing to contribute to the development of the country and having numerous other options of investing their time, efforts and funds, Ayb’s founders have chosen the most gratifying and guaranteed way of reforming the country: to create a new culture of learning and to educate a new generation. Ayb’s founders are Armenians working in different professional fields and living in different corners of the world. 
 

The objective of the Ayb Educational Foundation is to shape a culture of excellence in learning and support education development in Armenia. Our community directs all its efforts and investments to the development of a creative generation that would be competitive in the 21st century and ready for changes.

From Idea to Reality

The vision of the Ayb Educational Foundation is quality education and excellence. As an organization implementing development projects and essential changes in the field of education, Ayb is carrying out projects across Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora to ensure the best authentic education for our children. Our projects have become a unique testing ground for the best educational initiatives, on the basis of which educational strategies, research and technologies are being developed. Around 125 000 participants and 1100 educational establishments from all over Armenia and Artsakh are annually involved in our projects. The Ayb Educational Foundation has initiated large-scale educational projects, such as Ayb School, scholarships for students admitted to Ayb High School, Dilijan Central School, Araratian Baccalaureate, mass school contests, Khan Academy Armenia, AybLabs and numerous other projects that transform the Armenian educational reality.

The Ayb Educational Foundation has brought together a strong community around its mission, a community that believes in Ayb’s idea, a community with around 250 benefactors from all around the world that assist us in our projects.
 

Our goal is to make our best practices accessible to everyone and to transform Armenia into a country of quality education, a country where contemporary quality education is available to all our children. Education is our path.
