Outreach

American School of Advanced Studies (ASAS) supports students’ engagement in community outreach programs. By promoting diverse opportunities for personal, academic, and professional growth, ASAS is committed to fostering a community that prioritizes student leadership development. Our community engagement events are designed to nurture students’ passions while building leadership and life skills beyond the classroom. Our students cultivate a sense of community by participating in meaningful local, national, and international projects, which contribute to their future success both inside and outside of school. We embrace, embody, and share a global ethos of excellence.

Liaison with Tbilisi State University

ASAS has partnered with Tbilisi State University to offer various educational programs and outings.

From May 19-26, 2017, many students, along with faculty and administration, traveled with professors from the Institute of Classical Philology, Byzantine, and Modern Greek Studies to Greece for a deeper understanding of ancient Greek and Byzantine civilization. This extraordinary educational and cultural experience helped to foster a greater appreciation of the connections between the ancient and modern world, and it serves as a prime example of the critical thinking we encourage within our students and the broader school community. Since then, we have organized annual excursions to Italy and Greece to continue nurturing students’ understanding of ancient civilizations.

Thanks to our partnership with Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and Cognia, we organize the annual international hybrid conference ‘Georgia and the World.’ This event brings together our students, alumni, international participants, educators, professors, and experts from various fields to share their latest research and insights, highlighting Georgia’s role and relevance on the global stage

International Collaboration and Cultural Enrichment

We are proud to offer international exchange programs and cultural trips abroad that broaden our students’ horizons. Through our annual collaboration with the Classical Association in Lytham, our students receive prestigious international recognition for their achievements in classical civilization and are given opportunities to further deepen their knowledge and passion for the subject.

We also run exchange programs with institutions such as Saint Annes School, Lytham (AKS Lytham), and partner with Eton College in England, where our students attend summer school as distinguished guests. Additionally, we organize enriching excursions to countries rich in classical heritage—including Greece, Italy, and Spain—allowing students to explore ancient history, conduct field research, and experience firsthand the cultures they study in the classroom.

These opportunities empower students to connect academic learning with real-world exploration, extending their education beyond school walls and national borders.

Extra-Curricular Opportunities
At ASAS, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Throughout the year, we maintain a meaningful partnership with orphaned children, providing donations of food, clothing, and toys. Our students also take part in seasonal drives to support organizations, reflecting our deep commitment to community service and social responsibility.

In addition to these charitable efforts, ASAS offers a rich array of extracurricular opportunities that foster leadership, critical thinking, and global awareness. We collaborate with other schools—both locally and internationally—through exchange programs, joint projects, and student assemblies that address current global and societal issues. 

Peer tutoring and mentorship programs enable students to support and learn from one another, promoting a culture of academic excellence and collaboration.

Student-led clubs, initiatives, and events are supported and guided by staff, ensuring every student feels empowered to take initiative and knows their voice matters. Whether participating in cultural excursions or leading discussions on modern challenges such as digital citizenship, sustainability, or mental well-being, students at ASAS are continuously challenged and supported in their development as thoughtful, confident, and active global citizens.

FLEX Program

We are proud to share that, for the past four years, ASAS has been collaborating with the FLEX Program. This partnership has allowed us to host several American students, providing them with unique and flexible learning opportunities and enriching their educational experience within our school.

College Board

Each year, members of ASAS administration and faculty participate both online and in person in regional forums in the United States to gain a deeper understanding of US educational opportunities that promote academic and personal success. We currently offer twenty-three Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which foster critical thinking and synthesis skills essential for our students’ success in today’s ever-expanding, globally interconnected world.

We are proud of their many achievements, including numerous recipients of the “AP Scholar with Distinction Award” each school year.

Faculty

ASAS boasts a faculty of 40 teachers, 30% of whom hold PhDs. Many of our faculty members also teach at local universities, providing ASAS students with a true college preparatory experience.

Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma

In 2020, ASAS introduced the AP Capstone Diploma Program for grades 11 and 12. This program includes two courses taken over two years: AP Seminar and AP Research. Rather than focusing on subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based argumentation, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the program can earn one of two prestigious AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges both in the United States and globally.

Students who achieve scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar, AP Research, and four additional AP exams receive the AP Capstone Diploma. Those who achieve scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but do not meet the four additional exam requirements receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate.
