The ideological inspirer and head of the AMR-school spoke about the main advantages of the new school
How did the idea to create a school come about?
Arkady Mailyan: I have long wanted to organize a universal learning space. For example, in a music school they only study music, in a programming school they study computer programs. There are 100 courses in our school. They are all different. Every child and adult will find something to do. For example, he will study vocals and at the same time study financial literacy or learn English.
What is the main value of your product?
Arkady Mailyan: We are saving the main resource of our students — time. They don't have to run through different schools to find the right courses. They don't waste time on useless activities with info gypsies. All our teachers practice disciplines that they sell. A copywriter writes, a vocalist sings, and a barber cuts hair. We provide practical knowledge that can be immediately applied and monetized.
How are classes going?
Arkadi Mailyan: All the lessons are live. They are in online format, but not recorded. You communicate with the teacher, ask questions, clarify. At the same time, you're at home, not spending hours and money on the road.
How does a student change after studying at your school?
Arkadi Mailyan: It's impossible to convey the thrill of watching a student transform. Both children and adults go through all stages of infant development. At first, it's a kid who can't do anything himself. Then it grows and develops. He tries to walk, falls down. But he gets up again and takes a step. Experienced students also come to us. But they also transform, become more confident, and increase their self-esteem.
Is it possible to take several courses at the same time?
Arkady Mailyan: Theoretically it is possible. I always study in several places at once. But these are subjective possibilities. Everyone perceives information differently. Some learn quickly, others need more time.

What does a student get at the end of their studies?
Arkadi Mailyan: The main thing is that he gets the skills that are in demand in modern society. A certificate is required to confirm completion of the course. All certificates are numbered, so it is easy to verify its authenticity. In the future, students will be able to receive diplomas in some specialties.
How do you see the future of the school?
Arkady Mailyan: We will continue to develop a universal focus. To attract even more teachers so as not to overwhelm the groups. It's not enough for us to like the students. A lot of people like Gypsies too. Taking courses about successful success only makes them richer.
The result of the students is important to us. The effect of our courses is multifaceted. The child gained confidence and stopped being shy to express himself — this is the result. An adult has learned how to write commercial texts and can monetize his knowledge — and this is the result. I improved my language skills and got a promotion with a salary increase — another result.
There are no people who fail. Everyone who comes for it will achieve the result. Learning is the next stage of development. You have to climb it. To do this, at least you need to lift your leg.
