UWC Dilijan starts 2020-2021 academic year

DILIJAN—The new academic year has officially started at UWC Dilijan. This year the college has welcomed 228 students from more than 80 countries – two more than last year. The college’s teaching staff consists of 26 teachers from 11 countries. There is a total of 73 staff members this year, 42 from Armenia. Many students continue availing themselves of the opportunity to study at UWC Dilijan thanks to the generous support of private donors, corporate entities and organizations: 30-percent of students are on a full scholarship and 51-percent of students are on a partial scholarship.

Although the pandemic has complicated the logistics of bringing students from all over the world to Dilijan, over 150 students are already on campus. Currently on lockdown, the campus is divided into zones and “bubbles” to ensure that those in quarantine do not interfere with those who are out of it. All students and teachers will arrive in Dilijan by the end of October. Until then, the learning process will be a combination of in-person and online studies via Google Classroom, ManageBac and other platforms.
