Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Kindergarten admissions: Applications for the kindergarten are possible at any time during the kindergarten year, subject to intake capacity. The process begins with a detailed information meeting with the school administration (general information about kindergarten and school, a tour of the campus, and fees), arranged in advance by phone or email. This is followed by an online admission inquiry, a parents' meeting with the head of the kindergarten, and a parent–child discussion with the head of the kindergarten. The process concludes with an online admission form, confirmation of admission, the setting of a starting date, and the signing of a kindergarten contract; priority is given to children from Germany and to siblings of current students.
2. School admissions: Admissions inquiries for the first grade must be submitted by the end of March. Applications for all subsequent grades depend on intake capacity and are possible up to the summer holidays. A start during the current school year is possible in justified individual cases, but requires consultation with the headteacher. The admissions process includes a detailed information meeting with the school administration (general information about kindergarten and school, campus tour, fees), an online admission inquiry, a detailed parents' interview with the principal, a student admission interview with the principal and, if applicable, a German language test, an online admission form, confirmation of admission, and the signing of a school enrollment contract.
3. Gastschüler (guest students): The Deutsche Internationale Schule Tbilissi is open to guest students, particularly from German-speaking countries or from German-speaking schools. For admission, a written guardians' application to the school leadership, a copy of a written exemption for the student from their current school for the attendance period, and, for students arriving in Georgia without parents, the full address of the host family are required. Information about the admission procedure and tuition is available through the school administration. Your contact person is Nato Menabde.
Deutsche Internationale Schule Tbilissi is a German-Georgian encounter school for students aged 3 to 18. It belongs to Germany's network of over 140 Auslandsschulen and uses a bespoke curriculum. In the Sekundarstufe, the education plan follows the German state of Thuringia, with the school's curricula building on it. Since 2021/2022 the school offers 12 classes (grades 1–12) and graduates with the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIAP). Quereinsteiger can obtain the Hauptschulabschluss after grade 9 and the Realschulabschluss after grade 10. Grade 5 is an orientation stage with an individual pathway recommendation, and the school maintains close contact with students and parents. English is taught from grade 3 and French from grade 6; Georgian is taught as a mother tongue for Georgian-language students and as a foreign language for others. The Bagebi campus opened in 2017 and comprises two wings of classrooms, specialist rooms and a multipurpose hall, with spaces until 17:00.
