.......Due
to its efficient work for more than ten years, Quantum has become one
of the leading schools in the Republic. It is not merely an educational
institution but also a scientific centre of pedagogy. According to the
progressive teaching technologies having been developed here, the College
has attained a great success in educating and teaching students as well
as providing their perspective education. Not by chance, every year more
than 90% of 110-115 graduates are admitted to higher schools from the
first.
There are about 400 students in 30 classes of the College.
The curricula of the College junior high forms (5 to 8) don't differ from
those of state secondary schools. Special emphasis here is providing students
with thorough education.
In the high forms (9 and 10), teaching is conducted by bias, such as directions
of physics and mathematics, chemistry and biology, liberal arts, and economy.
In addition to traditional subjects, other disciplines like History of
Arts, Financial Mathematics, Oratory, and Human Rights are taught at College.
Teaching Informatics and inculcation of information technologies are emphasized
at the College. Informatics is profoundly taught in all forms of Quantum.
The College's highest managing body is the Scientific and Pedagogical
Council, which includes Headmaster, Deputy Headmasters and Heads of Chairs.
The teachers' methodological and pedagogical activities are guided by
the corresponding chairs.
About 70 teachers work at Quantum, and most of them are candidates and
doctors of science.
At Olympiads, the success is outstanding, too. Since the academic year
of 1997-98, Quantum has been keeping its leading positions at City Olympiads.
The same can be said about the success at Republican Olympiads, especially
in the academic year of 2000-2001 when the College students won 36 diplomas
on 10 subjects. That was 20% of the whole award stock. Due to this accomplishment,
the Quantum College was conferred on with the peculiar Diploma and Grand
Prix of the Yerevan City Hall, with the Ministry of Education and Science
Diploma and with Certificate of Merit and Special Prize of the RA Prime
Minister. Also, Quantum students have been a success at International
Contests. Five of them have been included into the Republican combined
team on different subjects (chemistry, informatics, astronomy), and diplomas
have been conferred on four of them.
Not long ago, the results of the Yerevan City Olympiad for the 2001-2002
academic year students were summed up. Again, Quantum's participation
was excellent and our students were acknowledged winners for the fifth
time.
Quantum closely cooperates with about 30 schools of all marzes in Armenia.
Teachers interested in new subjects and new teaching technologies come
here for improvement and exchange of their work experience.
Quantum's cooperation with international donor organizations is efficient,
especially in the field of inculcation of new subjects and new teaching
technologies.
The College has collaboration relationship with the Institute of New Teaching
Technologies, Teacher Training Institute, New School Educational Centre,
UNESCO Institute of Information Technologies in Education (all these institutions
being in Moscow), as well as with a number of governmental and private
schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the USA.
Quantum is the first educational establishment in the Republic to bring
socio-psychological service in the schooling sphere, due to which the
teaching and educational activities of the College have improved to a
significant degree.
Necessary attention is paid in Quantum to the process of the students'
physical, military and patriotic education. Our college is the first school
in the Republic that since 1999 has been delivering the lessons of Primary
Military Practice in a summer military and sports centre as training classes.
For the purpose of finding out gifted children and sponsoring their further
education, college Quantum, since 1996, together with Yerevan State University
and Educational Board of the Yerevan City Hall, has been organizing a
special competition, as a result of which every year 10 to 20 students
of the 6th and 7th forms enter the College to be educated free of charge.
The success of Quantum is quite natural. It is obviously caused by the
correct organization of the business. From the outset, such a system was
established that all its elements should have to work properly. The teacher
- student - parent - administration relations are perfected, each of them
is aware of his/her rights, obligations, and commitment. Hence, both the
teachers and the students are protected within the bounds of the College
rules. This allows comparing Quantum with a small Republic, in which the
priority is the Law.
