The Guivy Zaldastanishvili American Academy is a high school in Tbilisi with 372 students in grades 8–12. The five-year bespoke curriculum prepares students to study at Georgian universities and universities abroad. English is the language of instruction, with Georgian and Russian used exclusively in their language classes. The school emphasizes daily preparation, homework, active participation, and frequent writing and assessment, with technology integrated in instruction. The academic year runs two semesters; classes meet four times per week (50 minutes) and one double period (80 minutes). Courses are typically more intensive than the Georgian program, with small class sizes and hands-on activities and current textbooks. Founded in 2001 by Guivy Zaldastanishvili and Donald Thomas, the academy carries US-supported aims to foster critical thinking and writing. Facilities include three science laboratories and modern library. Extracurriculars include Drama, Debate, Chess, Kendo, and a Saturday Community Service program; it competes in FIRST Global Challenge.
