October 15 is Global Handwashing Day, a global advocacy day dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives. Grade 3 learners celebrated this event by creating posters, activities, presentations for our PYP students. 

On October 15, we celebrated Global Handwashing Day at the European Kindergarten. The teachers talked about the rules of proper hand washing. The kids learned about importance of maintaining hygiene norms for our health.

Students are now engaging with the world through their keyboards more than ever before, recording notes, completing homework assignments, and even taking tests. The European School PYP teacher Ani Bezhuashvili started teaching her students typing alongside writing, reading, and performing arithmetic. She introduced an online platform (https://10fastfingers.com/) for typing practice. Later, the teacher engaged the students in a typing competition. In Grade 2, PYP student Ivan Mi demonstrated a result of 7 WPM (Words Per Minute). During the competition, he managed to complete three levels with the highest score of 88 WPM. The certificate of achievement and a badge of Keyboard Crusher were awarded to him. Currently, Ivan is in grade 4 and types 100 WPM.

On October 4, the European Kindergarten once again opened its doors to our children. In the kindergarten playground decorated with colorful balloons, they were greeted by cheerful Zuzu, Mini Sunny and Lu, who led the children into their groups. We wish our kids a happy and successful school year!

On October 6th, the European School held the Chairman election for the Student Council of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) students. The Head of MYP Programme Ms. Oxana Akimova and Service as Action (SA) Coordinator Ms. Keti Guramishvili congratulated the elected Chairman - Mr. Nick Gersamia (Grade 9A).

Now it is on Mr.Nick's responsibility to continue the good work and to make the Council assured about the faith they have entrusted upon his shoulders.

Dear Students, Honorable Colleagues and Parents! We would like to…

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.
