International schools in Georgia
Tbilisi has a modest but expanding international-school scene — British, American and IB options among established private academies — with fees low by global standards, often around US$4,000–12,000 a year. Selection is much thinner outside the capital, so location matters for families with school-age children.
Public schools and homeschooling
Public schools teach in Georgian and are free, though most expat families opt for private or international schools for language and curriculum continuity. Homeschooling is not heavily regulated; families often follow an online accredited curriculum — take local advice on formal recognition.
