Georgian-American High School of Tbilisi, established in 2003, is private co-educational day school. The school was established to provide an American education to students from the local and international community of Tbilisi. Its aim is to deliver an international education of the highest quality.
Georgian-American High School is situated in a quiet residential area in the center part of the city close to Metro (underground) station. It has a split site location but the two buildings are very close to each other. The facilities on both sites have been extensively improved and developed during the past three years providing a stimulation and well resourced environment for the pupils. In the Secondary department specialized facilities include an information technology room, library and design room, laboratories and gymnasium.
