In the framework of the U.S. President’s Education Awards Program, the AHS students Anna Davitashvili, Anna Danelia and Nikoloz Khaduri got the U.S. President’s Award. On October 22, 2021, these students received certificates and pins for their outstanding academic excellence in middle school.

Promoting academic integrity in the learning environment is one of the main priorities of the European School. Contract cheating, best described as the “outsourcing of student work to third parties”, undermines learning, damages learning relationships, and increases the tendency among students to engage in dishonest behavior in their professional careers. To mark the International Day of Action Against Contract Cheating, created by the International Center for Academic Integrity and celebrated on October 20, the American High School hosted the White Board Declaration Campaign on October 21, 2021. The AHS students demonstrated negative attitudes toward academic dishonesty. They are against plagiarism, express their ideas creatively and freely, enjoy learning and believe honesty is the key to success.

On October 20th, 2021, within the Global Ethics Day created by the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, the American High School held a hybrid poster presentation conference – Education Empowers Future Leaders: Thinking Ethically, Acting Globally. The AHS students presented themes addressing global ethical issues. The conference marked the American High School on a world map of organizations celebrating Global Ethics Day.

In the framework of the AHS First Friday Forum, on October 1, 2021, a head of the Department of Classical Philology at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, a famous researcher and translator, laureate of the State Award Nana Tonia delivered an online lecture “Euripides and Politics”. The visiting guest talked about the history of the ancient Greek theatre, theatrical culture and its impact on society. Professor Tonia also discussed the tragedies of Euripides, his ideas and Athenian democracy. The lecture ended with a Q & A session. 

We are pleased to announce that on August 4th, the American High School received accreditation from the National Centre for Educational Quality Enhancement for four years. The AHS is accredited by the International Accreditation Organization Cognia. As a school that seeks continuous improvement, the AHS started the preparation for national accreditation several months ago. Undertaking the accreditation process required a big commitment not only from the AHS team but active collaboration from the ES community and structures of the European School. National accreditation is an important stage in the development of the AHS.

The European School congratulates the U.S. and all Americans on the Independence Day. Our American High School links two friendly countries – the U.S. and Georgia. Independence is an essential value for the AHS students.
