Beyond the classroom

Our projects.

Alongside the courses at GO Center, the foundation runs projects that widen access and strengthen education across the Goris community.

Equal access · Grades 3–12 & GSU

GO Scholarship

Free English instruction at GO — the scholarship covers tuition for a full three-month course. It’s open to students in grades 3–12 at Goris public schools and to Goris State University students who meet a need-based criterion: orphaned by the Artsakh war, living with a disability, from a low-income or displaced family, a border-village resident, or a veteran’s child. The aim is equal access, and stronger English across Goris.

Now implemented by GO Krtojakh Educational Foundation. The 2024–2025 academic round resumes in October — follow our Facebook page for announcements.

Hands-on · Learning by doing

Makerspace

An open, hands-on space where young people learn by doing — building real projects alongside an American educator and getting a first taste of student-led, American-style education. The point isn’t the finished piece; it’s the process: real skills, the freedom to make their own choices, and the chance to discover what they’re capable of.

English as a Means of Communication

A community-wide project mapping the challenges of English teaching across all of Goris’s educational institutions — public schools, Goris State University, Goris State College, and continuing-education centers. Led by experts Ruzanna Antonyan and Narine Khondkaryan with project manager Gayane Ohanyan, it produced an analysis, a set of recommendations, an action plan, and two teacher-training courses.

GO Center · What you can study

Programs, by who they’re for.

GO Center for Languages and Skills is where the foundation’s teaching happens. Most courses are taught entirely in English from day one, designed around the way our students actually learn — lots of speaking, lots of practice, real cultural material.
