Rind Secondary School

The secondary school of Rind is the cornerstone of the village’s intellectual and cultural life. While early education in the village was initially family-based and private, the first official school records date back to 1916.

History at a Glance: The school has evolved through several stages:

1920s–1930s: A primary school and a “likkayan” (educational point for adults) operated with a handful of students and teachers.

1938–1965: The institution functioned as a seven-year school. Following the massive landslide in the 1960s and the village’s subsequent relocation, the community established a new educational foundation.

1969: The current school building was inaugurated, marking a new era for Rind’s youth.

Today: Currently, the school provides comprehensive 12-year education. Rind’s students are distinguished by their academic excellence, frequently winning awards in regional and national subject Olympiads.

Distinguished Alumni: The school is proud of its graduates who have become influential figures, such as prose writer Mkrtich Mkrtchyan, the Primate of the Vayots Dzor Diocese Archbishop Abraham Mkrtchyan, and scholar Manvel Harutyunyan.

Principal: Hrayr Grigoryan (since June 2025)
