Nationwide Reach
We have placed teacher-leaders in every region of Armenia, annually reaching over 30,000 students. That's more than 12% of all students in Armenia—making us one of the largest education organizations in the country.
Our Impact
Results That Matter
We measure our success not by good intentions, but by tangible impact. In just ten years, the Armenia Education Initiative has achieved remarkable results and built an unprecedented platform for future growth.
Our impact so far tells a story: when you invest in bold leadership and holistic approaches, the returns are outstanding. We're seeing academic improvement, yes, but also mindsets changing—among students, teachers, communities, and policymakers. Hope is replacing resignation in places that had been written off. A new narrative is emerging about what Armenia's education system can be: world-class, equitable, and empowering.
But we're not resting on laurels. For every student we've reached, there are 5 more we haven't yet. For every school turned around, dozens still struggle. We take these numbers as proof of concept and as a mandate to think bigger.
