As part of our memorandum of collaboration, we visited Tirdznisi Public School on November 20. During the visit, our students Nini Partsvania and Ana Molodini delivered a first aid training session for the students of Tirdznisi Public School. Their goal was to teach basic steps to handle emergency situations using the skills and resources available to them. At the end of the session, our students donated a fully equipped first aid kit to the school.

On November 12 and 19, the 10th graders of the American School of Advanced Studies held a student-led mock trial exploring the question: “Was Columbus a criminal?” Students stepped into a wide range of roles, including defense attorneys, prosecutors, the King and Queen of Spain, and Columbus himself.

On November 1st, our 6th and 7th graders enjoyed a meaningful educational and cultural trip to Dmanisi and Bolnisi. Students visited key historical sites, including the Dmanisi Archaeological Museum, Bolnisi Sioni Cathedral, and the Bolnisi Cross Monument.
