vision for Dilijan School.
The President of Armenia symbolically planted the first of many trees in
the heart of the School Campus. It is envisaged that each major stepping
stone in Dilijan School’s life will in future be represented by a tree.
Together with the area’s natural beauty, Dilijan International School of
Armenia will with the planting and subsequent growth of further trees
symbolise the school’s vision and values and reflect relationships
established early in life to form our networks for life.
Serzh Sargsyan, President of the Republic of Armenia commented on this
unique project:
