As a pioneer in the support of the Armenian educational movement, AEF has been credited with building and supporting numerous Armenian day schools around the world. From decades past to now, AEF has led the campaign to discover new ideas and approaches which will result in the improvement of education for Armenian students.
The first two schools built by the organization were the Levon and Sophia Hagopian College in Bourj Hammoud, Lebanon.
