What European School does

European School is a private K-12 international school headquartered in Tbilisi, Georgia, operating across three campus buildings plus a dedicated kindergarten facility opened in September 2022. Founded in 2007, the school serves 2,000+ students from 36 nationalities through four parallel educational programmes: International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, DP, and since September 2022 the IB Career-related Programme), the American School of Advanced Studies with AP courses, the Georgian national curriculum, and European Kindergarten for ages 3-5. The school is one of approximately 41 institutions worldwide authorized to offer all four IB programmes, and holds accreditations from IB, College Board (SAT/AP testing center), Cognia, CIS, BTEC, and the Georgian Ministry of Education.

The school's technical infrastructure includes a FabLab (Fabrication Laboratory) with industrial computer-controlled machines for industrial robot programming, drone programming, 3D modeling, and 3D printing; an in-house television production facility (ESTV); an online library platform; and a school-wide Digital Transformation initiative integrating technology into learning environments. Supporting services include a University and Career Counseling Office (UCCO), Student Wellbeing Division, and Student Support Center. The school employs 600+ staff including 362 core employees and IB-certified specialists.

Revenue is generated entirely through tuition fees billed annually across the four programmes; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The school has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and operates as an independent private limited company (European School LLC) under Georgian law. Customer acquisition is event-driven through direct admissions, 3D virtual tours, on-campus visits, educational fairs, and community outreach. The school allocates meaningful financial aid — $8.48M in university funding distributed to students from 2018 to 2025 — and has produced 938 alumni graduates since inception.

• Nord Anglia Education: Global premium international schools group with 80+ campuses; represents the broader international K-12 platform model European School could scale toward or compete against if Nord Anglia enters Tbilisi.
• Sabis International School: Established international K-12 operator with multiple campuses across the Middle East and Europe; comparable through delivery of multilingual, internationally accredited curriculum at premium price points.

Direct peers

Regional players
