About international schools in Yerevan, Armenia

Yerevan’s international schools are a small but diverse group that combine Armenian national education with a range of international programmes - you will find British/Cambridge pathways, some American-style curricula, the Araratian (Armenian-developed) baccalaureate, French-language provision and a limited number of IB options across the city and nearby. Instruction is commonly in English at schools that advertise as “international,” while Armenian is usually taught or required and Russian and other foreign languages (French, German, Chinese in some programmes) are often available. Annual tuition varies widely by school and programme, from relatively modest local private-school fees up to low-to-mid five-figure amounts in US dollars for full international tracks or specialised boarding places; exact prices are published by individual schools. Admissions generally follow the Armenian school calendar with a September intake, and most schools run assessments or interviews and ask families to apply in spring or early summer, though some accept rolling applications during the year.

FAQs for Armenia

What kinds of curricula do international schools in Yerevan offer and how do they differ?
You will commonly encounter British (Cambridge iGCSE/A-Level or Pearson pathways), American-style programmes (including Common Core/AP-like sequences at some schools), Armenian national programmes with international components such as the Araratian Baccalaureate, and French-language education at an accredited lycée; a few schools or nearby institutions offer the International Baccalaureate for upper secondary. These systems differ in assessment style, subject choice and university recognition patterns - Cambridge and IB are internationally oriented exam systems, American curricula focus on credit-based progression and APs, while Armenian-based programmes integrate national requirements with international elements.
How much should I expect to pay for an international-school place in Yerevan?
Fees vary substantially between providers and depend on the programme, the student’s age and whether the place is day or boarding; published figures and market comparisons show a spread from lower-cost private bilingual options up to low-to-mid five-figure US dollar equivalents for full international tracks or boarding. Many schools publish their annual fee schedules and some independent directories summarise typical ranges for the city, so check current price lists directly with the schools you are considering.
When should we apply and what does admissions typically involve?
Most schools follow the Armenian academic year with a September start, and families commonly begin enquiries and applications in the spring or early summer for the coming September intake; several schools also offer limited rolling admissions for in-year starts. Admissions commonly include an online application, age verification, an interview or meeting with parents and child, and short assessments in language and maths for older children, and you should confirm exact deadlines and required documents with each school.
What language support is available for non-Armenian speakers?
English is the primary language of instruction at most schools that market themselves as international, and such schools generally provide Armenian-language lessons as part of the curriculum or as a separate subject; Russian and other languages (French, German, Chinese) are frequently offered as additional language options. If your child needs intensive language support, ask schools about English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) or Armenian-as-a-second-language programmes and about class size and integration plans for newly arrived students.
What should relocating parents inspect when visiting a Yerevan international school?
Look for evidence of curriculum accreditation or recognised exam routes, the language of instruction and how the school supports non-native speakers, class sizes and teacher qualifications, and the school’s approach to pastoral care and university or next-stage guidance. Also ask about extracurricular provision, transport options, published fee schedules (including extras such as lunches and trips), and how the school manages transitions for children arriving mid-year.
