YEREVAN SPECIAL SCHOOL-RESOURCE CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS

Yerevan Special School-Resource Center for Children with Hearing Impairments is a state non-commercial institution (ՊՈԱԿ) in Yerevan educating children with hearing loss from early childhood through the end of secondary school.

The preschool group takes 6 children aged 3 to 5 with severe or profound hearing impairment. Primary school, grades 1 through 4, enrolls 37 students. Middle school, grades 5 through 9, has 54. High school, grades 10 through 12, enrolls 29 students, who follow a vocational-track curriculum rather than the standard academic one.

Armine Babayan directs the center, with Anna Poghosyan as deputy director and Siranush Janibekyan overseeing methodological work. Other staff teach humanitarian subjects and run the library, primary education, and art and craft instruction.
