The Ayb Educational Foundation was founded in 2006.

The Foundation aims to establish a new culture of leaning in Armenia and improve the education sector in the country through targeted investments. Over the past 14 years, Ayb has devised and carried out a number of substantial projects and education reforms and has developed exemplary education environments, which have served as an incentive for the development of the entire education system in Armenia.

Ayb School is one of the core projects of the Ayb Educational Foundation. It is a laboratory where the best learning and teaching technologies and methodologies are developed and enhanced, where hundreds of children from Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora receive the best education today.
  

The Ayb Educational Foundation provides scholarships to around 75% of the students admitted to Ayb High School, providing equal opportunities for all the students of Ayb High School.
 

The Araratian Baccalaureate Program, an internationally competitive and rigorous educational program, was developed in cooperation with leading educational institutions in public education. The international partners of the program are Cambridge Assessment International Education and the Institute of Education, University College London (IOE, UCL).

Dilijan Central School, i.e. Ayb’s first school project implemented by external order, was established in cooperation with (and financed by) the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia.

Since 2009, the Ayb Foundation has organized a series of popular international school contests in Armenia and Artsakh, such as Kangaroo mathematical competition, “Meghu—Armenian for everyone,” “Russian Bear Cub—Linguistics for Everyone,” the national round of World Robot Olympiad,  All-Armenian Tournament of Young Chemists, and in higher education field, Tournament for Chemistry Students. Through these competitions, the Ayb Foundation creates massive education movements.

In 2017, the Ayb Educational Foundation created  Khan Academy Armenia, thus making this global online education platform accessible to Armenian learners.

Another large-scale project of the Ayb Foundation was the creation of AybLabs, modern and technologically equipped subject laboratories, which foster advancement of teaching methodologies.

Aram Pakhchanian is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Sona Koshetsyan is the Executive Director of the Ayb Educational Foundation.

All projects carried out by the Foundation are described here. For main events in Ayb’s life, please click here.
