Avropa Azərbaycan Məktəbi

The European Azerbaijan School (EAS) It is ever more important that Azerbaijans children are educated to equip them for an active and positive life in an increasingly globalised world. TEAS launched its contribution to this demand by founding the European Azerbaijan School in September 2011. EAS was launched in September 2011 with 95 students from grades five to eight. In September 2012 the school opened a primary section and now has more than 365 students from primary classes to grade ten. There are currently 71 teachers, 11 teacher assistants and over 51 administrative and technical staff. The teaching language is Azerbaijani; however, as EAS intends to become an IB World School in the near future, students also have intensive classes of English. Russian is the third language taught at the school. With a highly professional staff, the school is also fully-equipped and provides extracurricular activities on site, including drama in the Azerbaijani, Russian and English languages, chess, dancing, swimming, choir, carpet-making, drawing and pottery. EAS is a private, fee-paying school, with fees set to accommodate the widest section of the population. Scholarships are also granted to those who: - achieve high results in school admission tests - achieve high results during the academic year - are from under-privileged families Further, if more than one child from the same family studies at EAS, the second and third children receive their education for reduced fees. Currently, one in six students benefit from these arrangements.
