Shirakatsy Lyceum has a security service, which is a solid foundation and an integral part of our educational environment.

We believe that effective learning and harmonious development of students requires a safe, controlled, and trustworthy environment for both students, staff, and guests.

Starting in 2024, the responsibility for ensuring the security of the Academy has been entrusted to "VIP SECURITY" LLC, an experienced and professional company in the field. Thanks to this cooperation, modern mechanisms have been introduced that ensure comprehensive control of the area and an operational response in any situation.

There is a control point at the gates of the Lyceum, from where entry is strictly controlled. Teachers, educators, and all employees in general enter only with individual passes, which excludes the entry of unauthorized persons into the Lyceum territory.
The territory of the educational complex is fully equipped with modern video surveillance systems. Video surveillance and monitoring are carried out around the clock.

All security service employees undergo special training and annual refresher training at the SIAS International Security Academy.

The Psychological Center of Shirakatsy Lyceum was founded in 1990 and, for more than three decades, has been an integral part of the Lyceum’s educational system, with well-established traditions, a strong professional vision, and a clear path for development. The Center’s mission is to create a safe, supportive, and growth-oriented educational environment where every student can fully realize their potential by developing their cognitive, emotional, and social capacities. We view each child not through the lens of individual behaviors or “difficulties,” but as a whole person whose development is shaped within an interconnected system that includes the child, their peers, the school, and the family.

The Center emphasizes cooperation between family and school as a key condition for a child’s stable development.
The work is built on informing and purposefully involving parents, fostering a partnership-based collaboration with teachers, and using a shared psychological language within the Lyceum.

Parents turn to us when they want to better understand their child and consciously support their development. It is important to emphasize that seeking help from a psychologist does not necessarily imply the presence of a problem; rather it is a concious and caring step aimed at ensuring a child's well-being and supporting their harmonious development.
