About the Organization

Round Square is an international network of schools that unites more than 250 innovative schools in 50 countries on 6 continents, which form high moral and civic values and qualities in their students.

In 2010, Shirakatsy Lyceum became the first in the region to become a full member of the World Association of Round Square International Schools. Prestigious membership of the Round Square International Network provides access to annual conferences, exchange programs and various events.
 

Round Square was created in 1966 by German philosopher Kurt Hahn, who is also one of the co-founders of the International Baccalaureate. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the majority of Round Square member schools are also International Baccalaureate schools.
