How we started
Education is what lies at the basis of the success of many people. We set off with a very strong foundation of background education. The idea of opening a language school had emerged well before the actual opening date. “Shabunts Sisters” Language School took off on its glorious flight on April 22, 2012 with a grand opening. The school was founded as a family business, by two sisters who felt the need of a change in the quality of education provided in Armenia.
Mission
Our greatest goal is that of making high quality education available to the general public. The mission of the school is to provide a platform for educational development and to assist those who truly acknowledge the value of an educated society. Our mission has always been to teach people of all ages for helping them achieve their career goals. The main idea behind this initiative has been to let the public realize what power education entails. With the help of devoted staff, we aim at promoting literacy and knowledgeability in society. So far we have helped to change the lives of many students who have achieved success and have proved the notion that education turns mirrors into windows, i.e. with a good educational background the world becomes more accessible and challenges are easier overcome.

We also aim at motivating students to not only study languages, but also to inspire future generations by serving a model for them. Our mission is not to open doors for our students, but rather to give them the keys to those doors they have always strived to open. We do our best at making it obvious that determination, strong will and achievement-orientation are the greatest qualities that guarantee advancement.
