It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Shared meals are a fixed part of the school day. Students stay in school until the afternoon, have lessons, or participate in after‑school activities. The midday meal and the afternoon meal, as well as a kiosk offering, are prepared daily in the school's own kitchen, which is about 100 square meters in size. Since March 2024, the school cooperates with the company Demi Catering, which deploys its own team in the kitchen. In designing the weekly menus, the school follows the recommendations of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (German Nutrition Society) and the Georgian government's guidelines for balanced and wholesome school catering, with sugar used sparingly. Seasonal fruit and vegetables available in Georgia and the traditions of Georgian cuisine are also taken into account.
The school is governed by the Verein zur Gründung und Förderung der Deutschen Internationalen Schule Tbilissi (Association for the Establishment and Promotion of the Deutsche Internationale Schule Tbilissi). Since the 2018/19 school year, governance comprises a General Assembly (Mitgliederversammlung) and a Board (VORSTAND). Board members are Dr. Sascha Ternes, Giorgi Batlidze, Dr. Lika Glonti, and Tea Tabagari. Governing bodies arising from the school and kindergarten community include elected parent representatives, elected student representatives, and an elected staff council. The Leadership Team consists of the Head of School and the Deputy Head, the Kindergarten Director, and the Administrative Director, together with board‑appointed representatives.
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.
