Compare 6 IB Curriculum international schools in Georgia. Filter by curriculum, fees (average GEL 6,800), location, and more to find the right international school now.
IB-curriculum international schools in Georgia form a small but established sector, concentrated in Tbilisi with a few international options on the Black Sea coast; several schools offer one or more IB programmes and a smaller group provide the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum. Instruction is most commonly in English, although a number of schools run bilingual Georgian - English sections and offer Russian, French or other modern languages as options. Fees vary widely by school and by age, but families should expect annual tuition from a few thousand US dollars in lower-fee options up into the low tens of thousands for older students at larger international campuses. The main intake is at the start of the school year (late summer/early autumn) and schools also accept mid-year transfers where places, assessment and documentation permit; check specific entry requirements and timetables with each school.
What do the IB PYP, MYP and DP programmes mean for the ages and curriculum my child will follow?
The IB is split into programmes by age: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for early years and primary ages, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for lower secondary, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for the final two years of pre-university study. Each programme emphasises inquiry, critical thinking and international-mindedness but differs in structure and assessment - the DP finishes with externally moderated examinations. If you want a continuous IB experience, look for schools authorised to offer the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum.
Which language will my child be taught in and is support available for other home languages?
Most IB international schools in Georgia teach principally in English, and several run bilingual Georgian - English sections so local language skills can be maintained alongside the international curriculum. Schools commonly offer additional modern languages (Russian, French, Spanish, German) and provision for English as an Additional Language (EAL) or mother-tongue support varies between schools, so review each school’s language policy if continuing a particular home language matters.
How much should I budget for tuition and extra costs at an IB international school in Georgia?
Tuition levels differ by school and by age: independent guides and local school information show typical annual fees spanning from a few thousand US dollars in lower-fee options up to the low tens of thousands for secondary years at larger international schools. In addition to tuition expect one-off registration or deposit fees, transport, meals, exam entries, uniforms and devices or text materials; schools publish full fee schedules so ask admissions for a complete cost breakdown.
When should we apply and what documents or assessments will schools normally require?
The primary intake is at the start of the academic year (late summer/early autumn), but many schools accept applications and mid-year transfers if space allows; application windows, assessment days and waiting lists vary by school. Commonly requested items include previous school reports, copies of passports/birth certificates, vaccination records, and, for non-Georgian transcripts, certified translations and any compatibility or equivalence documents the school or national authorities require - schools will also usually carry out an age-appropriate assessment or interview.
Will an IB Diploma let my child apply to universities in Georgia and abroad?
The IB Diploma is widely accepted for university entry internationally and schools in Georgia report that the DP is accepted for progression to higher education in Georgia, although specific recognition or credit arrangements can vary by institution and country. If you have particular universities in mind, check their current entry rules for IB students and ask the school’s university-counselling team to explain how DP results are normally treated.
