From December 24 to 29, 2024, 25 students from mixed classes of grades 6 to 10 embarked on a delightful school trip to Madrid. They were accompanied by English teacher Ani Bochorishvili, Academic Dean Natia Tevzadze, and seven parents, mainly representing grades 6, 7, and 10.

Dr.Brice Bomo and Ms. Natia Tevzadze represented ASAS at the recent Cognia IMPACT International Conference held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, last month.

Trivia Night, a student-initiated project by the talented Gega Jikhvadze, brought the ASAS community together for an exhilarating intellectual showdown between teachers and students. The event featured quick-fire questions of various types, where participants had to be the fastest to respond. The quiz covered a diverse range of topics, including movies, football, mathematical algorithms, and ancient history, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.

On December 10th, Ms. Nana Aleksidze hosted an inspiring empathy and anti-bullying workshop for Grades 6A and 6B. Together, the students explored the different types of bullying and how to recognize them while also discussing ways to support each other in tough situations. They took time to reflect on their own strengths, share what makes them proud, and design personal symbols that represented who they are.

On November 29th, the Student Parliament at the American School of Advanced Studies led an inspiring initiative to promote ethical awareness within the school community. Members presented key topics, emphasizing practical steps for fostering a responsible, respectful, and inclusive environment.

We are delighted to share highlights from an extraordinary educational trip to Khertvisi, Vanis Kvabebi, Safara, Vardzia, Rabati Fortress, and Mtsvane Monastery that inspired a series of student-led projects reflecting on this truly unforgettable adventure. This collaborative journey brought together teachers, students, and parents and took place this past Saturday, including a one-night stay. For many participants, it was their first visit to these breathtaking historical and cultural landmarks.

We are thrilled to share some inspiring news about the achievements of our dedicated educators.
