Build the routine.
Let family life lead.
A parent-first guide to schools, childcare, healthcare, housing, transport and settling children into life in Tbilisi.
THE QUICK ANSWERChoose the school and daily commute together—not as separate decisions.Reviewed 17 July 2026
Home location
Test the real school-run time at the correct hour. Traffic, hills and river crossings can change family life.
Child healthcare
Select a pediatrician, dentist and emergency pathway; keep vaccination and medical records available.
Documentation
Schools may request passports, prior records, translated certificates, health information and guardian details. Ask before arrival.
A practical sequence
Make the next decision
with better questions.
Shortlist
Start from curriculum/language, child’s age, support needs, budget and realistic commute.
Ask detailed questions
Request admissions criteria, class size, accreditation, safeguarding, meals, transport and refund terms in writing.
Visit
Observe arrival, classrooms, outdoor space, communication style and how the school supports a new language.
Settle gradually
Keep familiar routines, add one activity at a time and make space for culture shock for children and parents.
Details worth saving
Small facts.
Large consequences.
Availability and placement can change during the year; contact schools directly before committing to housing.
Ask for registration, capital, meals, transport, uniform, activities and withdrawal costs—not only tuition.
Clarify who may collect the child, emergency contacts and any required parental authorization.
Family immigration status is separate from school admission. See our family-reunification residence guide.
