Gavar Special School was founded in 1976 for the Gegharkunik region of the Republic of Armenia. Although the Gegharkunik region had many administrative centers, but the children with mental and physical handicaps are educated in Gavar.^[1]

The school is currently working hard to improve itself. Mr. Lavrik Arevshatyan has signed on as director of the school as of 1 September 2004. He, with the help of partners and volunteers, wishes to make Gavar Special School the premier school for children with disabilities in Armenia. The future goals of the school are to provide life skills and trades to those children that are able so they may have a productive and self sustaining life.

The population of children in the Gegharkunik region that can attend the school is estimated to be more than 650 but due to the absence of information and the difficulty of life in the region, many children that should attend the school never learn about the school. Gavar Special School is striving to meet the needs of the entire special needs population.

The Gavar Special School website is the primary online source for information about the school. Mr. Arevshatyan, the school's staff and volunteers welcome any visitor that wishes to see the school and partner with it to improve the future of handicapped children in the Gegharkunik region of Armenia.
