IQ Center Global Education

IQ Center Global Education is a school in Yerevan built around one method: mental arithmetic taught with an abacus. Per its own materials, it holds the regional representative role for two associations — SAMA (Global Abacus and Mental Arithmetic) and PAMA (Global Abacus Mental Arithmetic Association) — and through that role says it trains and certifies instructors and organizes international olympiads in the subject.

The center also says it runs an online platform of learning games and publishes its own textbooks and educational games for students.

On its own mission, the center describes three goals: building an environment where students focus on possibilities rather than problems, raising socially responsible individuals with a stated ethical grounding, and treating learning as something enjoyable, with teachers positioned as older friends rather than authority figures. These are the center's own words about itself, not independently verified claims.

IQ Center Global Education is in Yerevan, Kotayk-adjacent within the city, about 5 km north-northwest of the city center, straight-line.
