The PYP community recently hosted its annual welcoming event for pre-school students, creating a warm and engaging introduction to the Primary Years Programme. The event was designed and led by PYP students, teachers, and counsellors, who worked together to offer a variety of interactive learning experiences.

As part of the celebration of World Book Day, students took part in a week of Literacy Days filled with engaging and meaningful activities. The week began with a book fair featuring English books, where students had the opportunity to explore a variety of titles and purchase books for their home libraries. 

In celebration of  “Earth Day”, Grade 5 students from the IB PYP and the Georgian Program  came together for a meaningful and inspiring Earth Day Conference dedicated to raising awareness about caring for our planet. The event was a wonderful example of collaboration, as students from both sections worked side by side to prepare thoughtful presentations about environmental protection, sustainability, and everyday actions that help reduce our impact on nature. Through research, teamwork, and creativity, the students explored important topics such as recycling, saving water, reducing waste, and protecting wildlife.

On April 22nd, ES IB 10th and 11th grade students celebrated Earth Day by attending a special assembly. The guest speaker, Ms. Tamar Kakhishvili, Deputy Chairman of the Agency of Protected Areas of Georgia, delivered an engaging presentation about the country’s national parks, tourism, ecosystems, and recreational spaces. Students actively listened, participated in the discussion, and engaged in a Q&A session, making the event both educational and interactive.

On April 17, in connection with Mother Language Day, Nodar Chelidze, a student of the American School of Advanced Studies, together with several students from Class 9B, visited the Iakob Gogebashvili Museum and Variani Public School.

The project “One Step Towards Batumi” was successfully organized. 10th and 11th grade students worked on important topics - tourism and ecology. They developed interesting and innovative ideas aimed at supporting the further development of Batumi.

Student-led conferences proved to be a highlight of the PYP, putting students at the heart of their own learning journey. During these interactive meetings, students took charge of the conversations with their parents, confidently sharing their achievements and progress throughout the term.  

On March 30, we celebrated another inspiring event dedicated to classical literature—a Victorina exploring Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Four groups competed, demonstrating their knowledge and understanding of the author’s remarkable work through engaging and innovative approaches.

Our PYP Coffee Morning was a warm and engaging experience that brought together creativity, collaboration, and mindfulness for the grade 1 students and parents.
