The older history thing has, the richer it is. We are proud of our school, because of its eternal history. More than hundred years ago, in Soviet times, in Batumi it was very difficult to set up any new educational establishment, but local community could manage to base women’s gymnasium. In the course of time the gymnasium turned into mixed-gendered public school. Nowadays, the school is divided into two parts. The first one is old historical campus, which was reconstructed, and the second is modern one. Our school has two gyms (but we would like it to be better equipped) the computers class, the biology and chemistry labs. Here you can meet students from all religion confessions and also students with special needs. In the second public school, there are several kinds of clubs where students have possibility to demonstrate their leadership potential. (Such as evil club, drama club, intellectual club etc.) In addition, since 2005 students have great opportunity to participate in all kind of exchange programs all over the world that gives magnificent experience for our pupils to get in touch with European culture and become a part of it.
