Director's Welcome

Dear Members of the European School Community and Prospective Families,

Welcome to the European School, where excellence is not only pursued, but purposefully cultivated and where education is more than a journey, it is a powerful force for transformation. 

Over the years, our school has proven to be a true road to excellence for hundreds of accomplished graduates who have gone on to top universities of the world and build impactful careers across the globe. Their success stories are a testament to the strength of our academic programmes: Georgian Programme, IB Programmes and the American School of Advanced Studies. At the European School, we are proud to nurture a generation of true leaders and real change makers who are already making a meaningful impact in Georgia and beyond.

The 2024–2025 academic year marks another milestone in our continuous pursuit of excellence. We are delighted to announce that the European School has once again been awarded accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS). We remain the first and only school in Georgia with this distinction, a testament to our commitment to quality, accountability and innovation. This accreditation, recognized internationally, ensures that the school’s programmes, educational processes and all aspects of school life meet high international standards. The reaccreditation process demonstrates the European School’s unwavering commitment to its mission, its striving for continuous development, and its innovative path toward new heights.

This past year, our students have continued to achieve remarkable academic and personal success, securing places at top universities around the world and making us proud through their accomplishments both in and out of the classroom. These achievements are a reflection of our vision: to be a leading exemplar of transformative education, shaping the future of learning. Beyond academic excellence, our students demonstrate what it means to be responsible global citizens – thoughtful, compassionate and socially aware individuals who lead with integrity and purpose. They are not only prepared for the world – they are prepared to change it. 

At the heart of the European School’s success is our team of dedicated and caring educators who inspire excellence every day. Our teachers are more than instructors – they are passionate mentors who believe in the power of education to transform lives. Committed to lifelong learning, they continually seek opportunities for professional growth and embrace innovation to enhance the classroom experience. With creativity and care, they design lessons that not only meet high academic standards but also ignite curiosity, spark discovery and support each student in reaching their full potential. 

At the European School, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be at the forefront of educational technology, seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence, educational robotics, and augmented and virtual reality tools into our lessons. This forward-thinking approach equips our students not only with knowledge and the ability to apply technologies but also empowers them to become creators of innovation. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure includes several modern buildings that thoughtfully separate students by age category, creating an environment that supports age-appropriate, harmonious development. These spaces are designed to foster the physical and mental well-being of our students, offering specialized facilities such as fully equipped STEAM laboratories, FabLab, Art and TV studios, and learning environments that encourage creativity, exploration and excellence.

We are also proud to be the fastest growing school in the country, now educating over 1,800 students. This growth is a clear reflection of the trust and satisfaction of our community – families who value the high-quality, international education we provide. We are excited to welcome the students and staff to all three A, B, C buildings. All returning and new students will be welcomed with open arms to our community – we continue to grow! 

As the Director I set the highest expectations for all staff and students and by working together with teachers, students and parents we will enable our students to lead enriched, happy and fulfilled lives, making a contribution to the European School, Georgia and the global community.

As we look to the future, we remain deeply committed to our role as a beacon of transformative education in Georgia and beyond. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education and we look forward to working with you.

Together, I hope we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all students.
Wishing you a very successful 2025–2026 academic year!

Warm Regards,

Sophio Bazadze
Director of the European School
