We prioritize curiosity, practical skills, and long-term growth over rote learning.
RISE is focused on strengthening education in Armenia by building four core pillars: Reasoning, Informatics, Science, and Engineering. Our work equips students with tools, habits, and mindsets to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
Armenia has talent. We help turn it into capability.
Many students, especially in underserved areas, lack access to modern tools, real-world experiences, and strong mentorship. RISE develops programs that introduce critical thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on learning — helping students bridge the gap between theory and application.
Our Philosophy
These principles guide our work and decision-making.
- Curiosity
- We encourage students to ask questions, explore ideas, and think independently.
- Empowerment
- We equip students with practical tools and skills to solve problems and build with confidence.
- Simplicity
- We explain complex ideas clearly and directly, without unnecessary jargon.
- Excellence
- We aim for consistent, high-quality work in both teaching and program design.
