European School Student Nodar Chelidze Achieves Success in Cambridge
Nodar Chelidze, a Grade 10B student at the American High School Programme of European School, successfully completed a 50-hour Business Summer Programme at Cambridge in the summer of 2026, organised by Summer Boarding Courses (SBC). The programme took place from 27 July to 9 August.
The intensive programme provided Nodar with the opportunity to explore a range of key business topics, including:
- Startups and entrepreneurship, marketing strategies, and financial forecasting;
- SWOT analysis and business and financial terminology;
- Contemporary and future business models and leadership;
- Presentation, communication, and collaboration skills.
Upon successfully completing the course, Nodar received a certificate of achievement.
We are particularly delighted to have received a letter of recommendation from the Programme’s Academic Director, Petr Vlcek, highlighting Nodar’s outstanding engagement throughout the course, his leading role in group activities, and his confidence when presenting in front of an audience.
Throughout the programme, Nodar expanded his knowledge of economics and business while further developing teamwork and problem-solving skills essential for future success.
The recommendation letter places particular emphasis on Nodar’s final project and presentation, entitled “Time to Shine.” Based on his own idea, the project explored how modern marketing strategies can be used to successfully introduce a new product to the market. Nodar conducted research on the subject and presented both his findings and his own business concept, outlining his vision for its further development.
Petr Vlcek also notes that, midway through the project, Nodar had to continue working without his original partner. He adapted to the unexpected circumstances, overcame the challenges, completed the project independently, and successfully delivered his final presentation. Petr Vlcek describes Nodar as a capable and reliable team member and highly recommends him for his future endeavours.
We are proud that Nodar has successfully demonstrated the skills and competencies developed at European School beyond the classroom, in a new and challenging academic environment.
Congratulations to Nodar on this achievement! We wish him continued success and look forward to supporting him as he takes on new challenges and pursues his future ambitions.
