Through the Seroond Turnaround Program, we are reimagining what public education can look like in Armenia. The principles of equity, whole-child development, and innovation are core priorities, and Seroond enables schools to move beyond traditional approaches to become spaces of learning, leadership, and opportunity for every student.

This changed in September 2024, when we launched the program in our first large-scale school in Stepanavan, engaging 32 teachers and 530 students. The success in Stepanavan— reflected in student and teacher progress as well as recorded data— proved that the program is not only well-designed but also adaptable to schools of any size.

In addition, the Seroond initiative expanded into four schools and introduced its first preschool pilots in Areni and Dilijan, marking another important step in broadening our impact.
