We are pleased to share an important international achievement of our student. Ilai, a Grade 3C student, won 1st place in the Youth category at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Jiu-Jitsu World Tour 2025–2026, held in Rome.

For the past five weeks, our 5C students have been on an incredible creative adventure, becoming real authors! As part of our Book Project, each student created their own unique fantasy character, carefully thinking about their personality, strengths, weaknesses, and special powers.

PYP students attended a virtual live assembly hosted from Abu Dhabi that explored the role of technology across a wide range of subject areas and professional fields. The session highlighted how technology is shaping industries such as healthcare, engineering, the arts, and education, and introduced learners to emerging career paths that may develop in the near future.

Grade 2 students, under the unit “How We Organize Ourselves,” explored how marketplaces are organized to meet the needs and wants of communities.

As part of the unit How We Express Ourselves, Grade 4 proudly initiated a special assembly where students performed monologues they had written themselves. On the big stage and in front of a large audience, students confidently expressed ideas and emotions by either presenting a character’s voice or speaking as themselves. The performances highlighted creativity, courage, and powerful self-expression, celebrating the many ways students communicate their thoughts and identities.

PYP students celebrated Spirit Week by participating in a variety of themed days, including Crazy Hair Day, Twin Day, Festive Accessories Day, Crazy Socks and Shoes Day, Wear a Christmas Decoration Day, PJ and Blanket Day, and Black Tie Day.

Our PYP students participated in a variety of New Year celebration events that showcased their creativity, collaboration, and confidence. Students in Grades 1–3 presented festive concerts, performing New Year–themed songs and dances to different pieces of music, demonstrating their communication skills and confidence as performers.

The 5C students proudly staged a fantastic performance of The Wizard of Oz after a full month of dedicated practice and preparation. Throughout this time, they worked hard to learn their lines, movements, and songs. In total, they prepared ten songs, each performed with confidence and enthusiasm, while their amazing, colorful costumes reflected their creativity and research skills as they explored characters and stage design. To end the play on a special note, the students sang a Christmas song, creating a joyful and magical Christmas mood for everyone in the audience.

The students of the Georgian Language Club and Grade 5 visited the Orbeliani Market, where they ceremoniously lit the Christmas tree. The students wrote wishes to Santa Claus, which they hung on the Christmas tree together with New Year’s ornaments. Students learning the Georgian language were actively involved in this process alongside their parents and teachers. They also enthusiastically participated in the Gastro School, where they learned how to make khinkali, churchkhela, and cookies, practiced speaking Georgian, and applied their language knowledge in a real-life context.
