conditions for everybody to try and fail without shocking penalties.

curriculum. The introduction of new courses including science and
engineering starting from an elementary school is new experience in
Armenia, which makes the teaching task of educators a challenging
experiences with lack of appropriate materials and resources.

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.

- getting already tested worldwide practices of creating an
innovative school culture,

collaboration of education stakeholders and intensive use of
ICT,

international cooperation projects involving students, teachers
and administrators.

11. What do you want to achieve

above by:
- learning worldwide best case practices,

network.

the international perspective.
- being the only school to teach science in our region we hope that our
students will achieve results in making explorations, investigations,
analyses.
