Primary, Middle, and High schools, as well as the kindergarten, are part of the Lyceum.
Since its founding, the Lyceum has worked with the National educational program of director Ashot Alikhanyan, and since 2013, the students of the Lyceum have had the opportunity to study with International Baccalaureate programs as well.
We are implementing  IB Primary Year Program (PYP), Middle Year Program (MYP) and in High School, Diploma Program (DP).

Kindergarten

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP) is tailored for children aged 3-10, offered within our educational complex through kindergarten (ages 3-6) and junior school (ages 6-10). Our kindergarten aims to foster the holistic development of children, nurturing their physical and mental well-being, and ensuring their readiness for future academic pursuits.

The Primary school at Shirakatsy Lyceum, established in 1998, follows an integrated educational approach combining the RA State curriculum with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP). Our focus is on nurturing well-rounded individuals aged 3-10 through our kindergarten (ages 3-6) and junior school (ages 6-10). The IB PYP aims to develop critical thinking, open-mindedness, independence, research skills, and compassionate character. Our educational and extracurricular programs foster holistic growth, embodying educational, civic, social, and health principles.

Middle School

The Middle Years Program (MYP) extends the foundation set by the International Baccalaureate Primary School Program. Our Middle School provides the IB MYP curriculum for grades 5-10, serving as a crucial stepping stone toward grades 11-12 and achievements in both National and IB Diploma programs. This phase focuses on academic excellence and the development of advanced research skills.

High School

Within our High School for grades 11-12, students can choose between two paths: the National Program, offering diverse subjects in specialized streams, and the English-taught International Baccalaureate Diploma program.
The National program of the Lyceum adheres to the standards set by the RA state and subject regulations, while also integrating the principles of the Lyceum's National educational program.
The IB Diploma Program provides a globally acknowledged qualification for higher education, widely recognized by universities worldwide.
