About Middle School
The Middle School of the "Shirakatsy Lyceum" International Scientific-Educational Complex was founded in 1998. The educational process of the Middle School is organized by the integrated educational program of the RA State and International Baccalaureate Middle School (Middle Years Program or IB MYP). The main objective of the IB MYP program is to develop a knowledgeable, researching and constantly evolving individual.
The Middle School program of Shirakatsy Lyceum is for students ages 10-16 and begins from 5th grade. The Middle School Program (MYP) is an innovative comprehensive education program that not only takes a rigorous approach to student learning, but also emphasizes the development of personal skills that are central to becoming a lifelong learner.
It is a student-centered program that educates intellectually minded and inquisitive young adults with a focus on the social, emotional, and educational needs of the student. The standards of the MYP are aligned with the goals and objectives of the Armenian National Education Program, preparing students to meet the requirements of both the IB Diploma Program and the High School National Program.
Syllabus
At the center of the middle school program model is the student, everything is focused on the development of the latter and his qualities as a learner.
The main components of the MYP model are concepts, universal contexts, approaches to teaching (ATT - Approaches to Teaching), approaches to learning (ATL - Approaches to Learning), service through action, MYP projects, international thinking and eight subject groups.

Service projects
At Shirakatsy Lyceum, students actively participate in service projects, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others and the environment. As caring members of the community, students use their academic knowledge to make a difference in the real world.
Each age group carries out a service project through which students contribute to the welfare of the community by visiting orphanages, nursing homes, and hospitals, as well as organizing plays for children, holding classes for younger friends, and actively participating in recycling programs by collecting and recycling paper and plastic.
This service-oriented approach is an integral part of the educational process that nurtures socially responsible individuals who understand the importance of contributing to the well-being of their community.
