Abac Kids - Malatia-Sebastia

Abac Kids Malatia-Sebastia is one branch of the Abac Academy network, which teaches mental arithmetic — a calculation technique built around use of an abacus — to children in Yerevan. The method arrived in Armenia in 2016 through Narine Balayan and Diana Hovhannisyan, who opened the first center on Demirchyan street under the name "Abac."

The academy says its network today counts hundreds of students both in Armenia and abroad. It runs an annual olympiad for students across its centers: the "ABAC 2026" edition held its awards on May 17 at Yerevan Park, with competition rounds at the Marriott's Tigran Mets hall, drawing 425 participants from Armenia, Georgia and Cyprus, plus online entrants from the United States, France, Germany, Spain and Latvia. Children competed by age group and by level of difficulty in the method, with the academy awarding cash prizes to top performers in the hardest categories.

This branch is in Yerevan's Malatia-Sebastia district, about 6 km west-southwest of Yerevan (straight-line).
