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.

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.

On June 10th, the European School held the graduation ceremony of the American High School (AHS) students. The Presidential Awards for Educational Excellence and Educational Achievement were awarded to Mariam Arveladze and Paata Kaloiani.

On the 17th of June, the MYP graduation ceremony of the class of 2021 was held at the European School. This graduation was the end of the 5 years these students spent in the MYP.
