The AGBU Armenian Virtual College (AVC) has announced the opening of its enrolment period for Fall Term 2010.

Courses of Eastern Armenian, Western Armenian, English, French, Russian and Spanish, as well as Armenian History and Culture will be tutored on multiple levels. Online classes will be held on September 27 through November 30. The enrolment deadline is on September 12, 2010.

The AVC project was initiated in 2004 by AGBU’s Silicon Valley Chapter, which had long noted the need for an educational program that better addresses the current demands of the Armenian nation in the Diaspora and Homeland. Since then, the technology at the heart of the project has been developed largely in Armenia with the collaboration of scientists and engineers at Yerevan State University Information Technology Center for Education and Research.

The AVC aims to provide Armenians throughout the world the opportunity to receive Armenian education, and appeals to present-day students, thus extending the educational mission of AGBU.
