QSI International School of Tbilisi

QSIT provides a holistic and practical approach to Student Services with a K-12 qualified School Counselor responsible for pastoral care. Elementary students receive character development and social skills lessons, and the Counselor's office offers a calm space to refocus during difficult parts of the day. Secondary students receive orientation to transition to their Freshman Year and guidance to identify talents and plan a four‑year academic program to be competitive in college searches. The college and career preparation program is supported by on‑site university recruiter presentations, university search forums, parent information nights, and regular materials to help with virtual university visits. Learning support programs are coordinated by Student Services and offered either independently or in collaboration with McLain Association (MAC) learning support specialists. Student Services also advise QSIT Administration on non‑instructional services such as admissions, transportation, and food services to ensure a happy, safe, and enjoyable school experience.

QSI Tbilisi may admit a student with mild‑to‑moderate learning needs within the scope of meeting the student's needs in the classroom. There is no resource department, so there may be limitations in accepting a student with special needs. For mild‑to‑moderate disabilities, the school reviews evaluations, reports, IEPs, or referrals to help assess whether a program can be provided. At times, the school may accept special needs students based on family or sponsor providing additional school fees to cover the cost of extra professional services. QSI Tbilisi currently has partnerships with community resources (with an office in the school) equipped to provide Academic, Behavioral, Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language services.

Intensive English classes are offered to all students that need additional help with English. Languages Other Than English (LOE) are offered, with current offerings including Russian, Spanish, French, and Georgian. Students placed in Intensive English will not be enrolled in an LOE.

QSIT adopts a holistic approach to student well‑being through the School Counselor, who provides pastoral care for students. Elementary students receive social skills and character development support, and the Counselor's office serves as a space to refocus during challenging moments. Secondary students receive orientation and planning support for their four‑year academic programs, along with college and career planning resources. Learning support programs are coordinated by Student Services to support access to appropriate assistance, with collaboration available through MAC specialists if needed. Student Services also advise QSIT Administration on non‑instructional matters such as admissions, transportation, and food services to support a safe and enjoyable school experience.

QSIT follows the CEESA Safeguarding and Child Protection Statement and Commitments, making safeguarding a priority for every CEESA School. CEESA commits to creating environments that safeguard children through both prevention and intervention and to regularly reviewing standards in partnership with international agencies. All CEESA schools actively uphold the safeguarding statement and implement school‑based policies and procedures, including regular onsite training and safe recruitment practices, and they educate students and adults on safeguarding. The CEESA framework is complemented by the QSIT Child Protection Handbook for guidance.
