I sincerely wish to see Azeri students attending Dilijan International
School one day. I am sure that this day will come and want it to come
as soon as possible, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said while
opening UWC Dilijan on Saturday.
He said that today Armenia is known in the world not for its oil or
gas but for its Matenadaran, high-tech achievements and UWC Dilijan.
"This is why future belongs to us and we must be confident," Sargsyan said.
He welcomed the fact that the school has a good professional team of
specialists from different countries. "This will open up new
opportunities for us," he said.
Sargsyan noted that the school advocates eternal values, like kindness
and tolerance. "So, I sincerely wish to see Azeri students attending
it one day," he said.
He thanked all those who have made this project possible, especially,
Ruben Vardanyan and Veronika Zonabend.
UWC Dilijan College is a large-scale charitable initiative. The
spending of construction of the school exclusively of charitable funds
reached $115 million as of the opening day.
The second phase of the construction will cost about $75 million.
Additional funds under the Project (for acquisition of land,
architectural and engineering work, development of infrastructures)
are estimated at about $30 million for the entire period. The
operational budget of the school for the coming 5 years amounts to $8
million per year in average.
The operational budget will be replenished from the endowment fund
management and scholarship fund. By 2023 the College with its current
96 students from nearly 50 countries will operate at full capacity and
the number of students will increased to 650 people. The teaching
staff will exceed 60 people. The IB Diploma is taught at all UWC
schools and colleges, including UWC Dilijan College. The lessons are
delivered in English. There are 10 students from Armenia at UWC
Dilijan College. UWC Dilijan is the joint project of philanthropists
Ruben Vardanyan and Veronika Zonabend and their partners. UWC Dilijan
became the first college in the post-Soviet area to join the UWC
network. Talking to reporters, Ruben Vardanyan said the project is
important not only to Armenia. He hopes the school will become an
example of new world standards in the field of education. Vardanyan
said and thanked everyone who believed in the success of the project.
The construction of the school is being supported by the government of
Armenia and personally by President Serzh Sargsyan. UWC Dilijan was
built according to the designs of a leading London architecture bureau
- Tim Flynn Architects. The UWC Dilijan admission criteria are
available on http://www.am.uwc.org/.
