We are excited to announce the results of our recent, transparent election at the American School of Advanced Studies (ASAS) to choose the next candidate for School Parliament Chairperson. Three remarkable students—Tornike Butskhrikidze, Ketevan Mamukashvili, and Carl Hyder—were nominated for this important role. Each nominee exemplifies dedication, discipline, and intelligence, making them true leaders in our school community.

As the new academic year begins, we are thrilled to introduce a new tradition at the American School of Advanced Studies (ASAS): monthly assemblies led by our new principal, Dr. Brice Bomo. These gatherings have quickly become a highlight for both students and staff, thanks to Dr. Bomo’s captivating rhetorical skills and his ability to share meaningful messages that resonate with our community.

The American School of Advanced Studies marked the beginning of the new academic year with an inspiring assembly centered around our motto for the year: "Faster, Higher, Stronger." This event not only welcomed newcomers but also conveyed a powerful message of unity and growth.

On Thursday, October 3, at 4 PM, Lado Sakvarelidze, a founding member of Fly Fishers International, delivered a presentation titled "Recreational Fishing and Conservation of Wildlife" for IB DP/CP 11th-12th grade CAS/SL students. In this session, Mr. Sakvarelidze shared and discussed how recreational fishing can be practiced in a sustainable manner to support wildlife conservation and the protection of natural habitats.

At ASAS, we always inspire our students to take the lead, encouraging them to bring their ideas to life. Our passionate football fans from 9B took the initiative to organize a friendly match against 10A, demonstrating their ability to plan and execute events. The match, supervised by the sports teacher, was an exciting event, showcasing both teamwork and school spirit. In the end, 9B emerged victorious with a 4-1 win. We're always eager to support our students' daily passions and ensure they feel empowered and fulfilled.

To honor International Day of Older Persons, the European School PYP students engaged in meaningful activities fostering awareness and connection with the older generations in our community.

Our new 6th-grade students, who have just joined the American School of Advanced Studies family, found the beginning of the academic year somewhat challenging. To help them bond with each other and their teachers, we organized a cultural excursion to Dzalisa, an ancient Roman site in Georgia. Dzalisa is significant for its well-preserved mosaics, thermal baths, and insights into Roman urban life, offering a unique glimpse into the ancient world.

The European School recently hosted a special workshop for parents new to the Primary Years Programme (PYP).  Led by PYP Coordinator Tina Gugushvili, the session introduced parents to the PYP framework, which emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to explore and engage with the world around them. The workshop also provided an overview of ManageBac, the digital platform used for communication, assessment, and progress tracking throughout the school year.

Extracurricular Clubs Fair at the European School was a huge success!  From the thrilling Robots Show to the energetic Zumba dance we had something for everyone. Students explored the magic of storytelling in the Reading Club, enjoyed fencing in special masks, and unleashed their creativity in our Art workshops featuring ceramics, felt crafting, etc.
