The child has been studying here for a year, we are going to the second, 6th grade - the best school in Tbilisi, I recommend it to everyone)
The school has a very warm, trusting atmosphere. There is a great emphasis on friendly relations in the classroom and with teachers. There are many clubs and extracurricular activities.
The educational process is perfectly built! The child has greatly improved his English level in a year. He's here every day + a speaking club with a speaker once a week. Math is also almost daily. Study with pleasure and benefit! All homework is done in the classroom with a tutor.
Classes are small, up to 10 people. Everyone gets personal attention and program adjustments.
The school has excellent repairs, cozy classrooms, delicious food. An area with swings, a sports ground and mountain views from the windows.

In terms of price /quality ratio, in my opinion, the best private Russian-speaking school in Tbilisi. I am impressed by the attentive and respectful approach to children, especially those who find it difficult to adapt in a team and find motivation to study. The atmosphere of a friendly community at the school has been created. A lot of attention is paid to the study and development of soft skills. Fun holidays, fairs, children are taught to charity and separate garbage collection. Among the disadvantages - it is necessary to improve the surrounding area around the school, clean up the open ground, which turns into mud in bad weather.

My son has been studying at this school for the last year (4th grade) and next school year we will go back to Happy School, of course, and only there.
I really like the individual, very attentive approach to each child - the characteristics of each student are taken into account. I would also like to note that English is spoken by children every day!
In addition to studying, the school also offers a large number of additional activities (school fairs, joint preparation of crafts for the new year, classroom decorations, etc.). As parents, our impressions of the school are mostly positive. And the child is already waiting for the next school year)

The child is comfortable at school: he is interested in the lessons, the attitude towards children is friendly, there are many options for extracurricular activities, walks in the yard. I also like that the school has its own closed territory, there is a lot of English in the program, the school itself buys textbooks and manuals, organizes certifications. There is a psychological service in the structure of the school.
I can't say that I agree with all the administrative decisions, but the overall impression of the school is positive, we plan that the child will study here next year.

My children go to kindergarten and school here. They walk with pleasure. In the garden, as a parent, I like the fact that they listen to the individual abilities of the child, for me the perfect balance of academic and creative freedom. Teachers and educators are open to dialogue and feedback, together with the parent they help to improve and enrich the educational experience of the child.
At the school, at the end of each month, they send individually information about the student, about what the child is getting, what else to work on. Delicious lunches and afternoon tea at school. After school, children began to constantly make and invent different mazes at home, crafts, draw books, the whole house is in creativity :) As for me, the best quality-price ratio among private schools and kindergartens in Tbilisi.

Our son graduated from the second grade at this school and will gladly continue his studies in the third. The curriculum was intense and challenging, but thanks to an excellent teacher, he coped with it surprisingly easily. The teachers here really put their hearts into their work, creating a cozy and stimulating atmosphere. In addition, the school often organizes exciting extracurricular activities: children visit museums, theaters and go out into nature.

My grandson goes to school.
As a person with teaching experience (studying at the graduate school of MIPT, I prepared applicants in mathematics), I was surprised (in a good way) by the approach and practice of teaching mathematics at Happy School:
1. All the material is conducted solely through understanding, not cramming.
2. Tasks and tasks are made up as fascinating riddles, and it's not disgusting to solve them.
3. Even the 1st grade curriculum contains elements in an understandable form that will be useful in the future for studying, for example, disciplines such as analytical geometry and integral calculus.
Also, a big plus is that there are 12 people in the class, which allows the teacher to pay attention to each student.

My children attended Happy school for one academic year (kindergarten and 3rd grade). And we plan to come here next year as well. The schoolboy son is delighted. A small class, a lot of attention to each child, an individual approach. The son of the 3rd grade mathematician seemed simple and the teachers, seeing this, gave him additional tasks after lessons at his request. There are wonderful, sensitive educators in the garden, who respect children and gently mark boundaries. At the same time, classes are also held for kindergarten children from a certain age.

A good school, a good attitude towards children, an advanced approach to learning (mathematics by Peterson, a lot of English, etc.). An extension type mode with a bunch of entertaining and educational activities to choose from.
My son graduated from the first grade at Happy School and moved on to the second. There was no hesitation whether to continue studying at this school at all: definitely worth it.

I am very happy with the school, although I was immediately quite skeptical. Initially, there were problems with management, but now good work has been done and issues are being resolved promptly.
My son is absolutely satisfied! She enjoys going to school and to camp during the holidays.
A special plus for me is the after-school extension, where they do all the homework with the children and occupy them with various stations and clubs

My child graduated from the Happy School and goes to the first grade in September. I am glad that as a parent I managed to choose this school. Before school, the state scared me. the education system is indifferent teachers, large classes, focus on paperwork, not on the child. With Happy School, I managed to immerse my child in an environment radically different from my fears. He goes to a small class with two teachers, the main one and the helper. He is taught not only solid skills, but also soft skills - the ability to build boundaries, negotiate with children, and argue his choice in a group. His personality is respected, he is not silenced, but allowed to speak out and justify his opinion. I see that my child has to be persuaded to do something with everyone at some point, but he is being persuaded, not forced. Moreover, in optional classes, the child will be given a choice to do what is more comfortable for him - for example, I saw cases when the child does not go for a walk because he does not want to, but goes to class.
Now - in June - the summer holidays are underway, but the kindergarten, school and camp continue to work at the school. This is a salvation for parents and a thrill for children - they hung a canopy for shade and children build lego cities and pour water from blasters. I praise myself as a parent for such an organization of time for my child)
The school has difficulties with solving organizational issues - everything related to the work of administrators. But this is solvable and does not spoil the impression of the child's studies and time in elementary school.

My child is in the Happy second year (elementary school). And I can say with confidence that a person goes to school in the morning with pleasure!
Happy has a very good teaching staff - teachers take into account the individual characteristics of children, there is no pressure and strict regulation. I would especially like to mention the teachers of the first grade - Camilla and the second grades - Anna and Tatiana. Such a combination of professionalism and sincere attitude towards children is not common!
As a parent, I note that the school provides delicious food (its cooks), walks a lot (there is its own territory), teaches (a lot of English, mathematics this year was not only in Moreau, but also in Peterson), and there are a lot of cool activities at school: fairs, Eco projects and even overnight stays!

My son studied here in pre-school and in the 1st grade, next year we will go to the second.
I really like the teachers - the child usually finds it difficult to get in touch, but here I really like the teacher and there is motivation to learn. Now he reads fluently and writes well, he thinks English, of course, is still at a very basic level, but he did not go anywhere before and did not learn English, so I think that he is already making pretty good progress (he reads all the signs and texts in English, the vocabulary is not large, but periodically phrases of some kindThey don't give
grades in the first grade - they just send reports every month on the child's assimilation of the program (copes, learned such and such a topic, is attentive in the lesson, stretches his hand and likes to answer / does not take the initiative; what to pay attention to, etc., quite detailed).
Classes-lessons start from 10 to 13.30, then lunch, after which, if asked, they do their homework. Then the stations (something like circles - they draw, sculpt, play chess, board games, etc.), a walk. All this before 17 o'clock.
From 17.15 - additional clubs and classes (for an additional feepayment).
Certification based on the Foxford online school. At first, there was a training session in April, and in May, the certification itself took place for 2 weeks.
We like the atmosphere at school - friendly, informal, they constantly hold some kind of events (holidays, fairs, etc.).

Both my children attend Happy school. We spent a year in kindergarten and pre - school . We plan to continue our studies at this school. The school is good, the price-quality ratio is optimal. Children walk with great satisfaction . Special love and respect for kindergarten, because my not the most sociable child was helped to find wonderful friends. Teachers Natalia and Daria thank you very much.

I like the way the learning process is organized here - with a focus on balancing the educational program and the development of soft skills. There are no grades, but there is a productivity diary where each teacher gives feedback - what is good, what to pay attention to.
The state certification has been organized in partnership with Foxford.
But the main thing for me is a comfortable environment where my teenage daughter can feel calm and joyful.
The school is constantly developing, there are minor organizational flaws, but it is much more important that they manage to create a place where children want to go to study and spend time with friends.

It's a wonderful school. I have both children in it. One graduated from high school this year, the other from the third grade. For the first time in their lives, children say they WANT to go to school. A friendly team, both teachers and children (children are friends not only within their class, but also with others both older and younger). A modern approach to education. All the individual characteristics of the child are taken into account, what is normal is allowed (to sit under the desk, walk in what the child wants, dye his hair). Lessons with a child are done at school, you do not need to carry a briefcase, field events, swaps, stations (after classes, clubs). At the same time, the child in the 3rd grade passed the certification for all fives (one four), that is, knowledge is given there, and not only entertained. This school educates children, not robots. They teach you to take care of others and show your needs and feelings in an environmentally friendly way. I have never regretted that I sent my children to this school. We love her with the whole family!

Our daughter graduated from the 1st grade at Narru School Tbilisi. She likes studying there and wants to continue her studies. I will immediately list the pros and cons in our experience:
+ small class equipment for up to 15 people (maximum).
+ lessons end at 14:00, but children can visit the stations until 17:00 in the evening, and there are paid clubs at 17:00-18:00, which is convenient for working parents.
+ The school is small, children can make friends, communicate regardless of age and class.
+ Flexibility. If you need to temporarily leave on business or for long trips, you can continue your studies in an online format.
+ The school also organizes paid school camps during the holidays.
- Feedback on the circles is weak, you need to be interested in yourself additionally.
- Weekly scheduled class report and individual report (monthly). But if you wish, you can always talk to teachers and tutors separately.

The child went to preschool for a year, this year he will go to the 1st grade. The child has no denial of going to school, always with pleasure. During the year of preschool, a healthy attitude and commitment to learning have been formed. The approach to education is sympathetic, teachers and tutors are kind and responsive.
Before Happy School, I went to another kindergarten in Tbilisi for a whole year, after that there is a very noticeable difference in how teachers communicate with children, how they focus on personal qualities, try to help the child feel comfortable in the school environment. As a bonus, it has a great location, near a park and metro and bus stops.

Our experience with Happy School (116 Sairme Street) turned out to be extremely negative. In March 2024, we entered this school after the Lithuanian school. The director assured us that everything would be fine, but "forgot" to mention that Lithuanian grades are not suitable for certification. At the end of the school year, it turned out that my daughter did not have a grade 8 certification, and the director offered to pay for the entire year of grade 7 in order to get a grade 8 certification later. It was a huge disappointment.
After many stressful situations and nerves, we managed to achieve certification, but the deadlines for obtaining the certification sheet were shifted twice. The school did not take responsibility, referring to the partner school and their internal orders. When we contacted the partner school, it turned out that our documents (passports, certificate sheet for grade 7, etc.) had not been received there, although I sent all the documents at the request of Happy school. Moreover, as it turned out later, the head teacher knew that Lithuanian grades would not work, and therefore certification was impossible initially.
In addition, communication with school managers leaves much to be desired. Answers to questions can be expected for months, which creates additional stress and inconvenience. This level of service and attitude towards students and their parents is absolutely unacceptable. I strongly do not recommend this school to anyone who values their time and nerves.
I will add: positive reviews, in most cases, are written by the so-called ambassadors, those who were offered a permanent discount in kindergarten or school

My children really like school, there is a comfortable educational environment here. Teachers help the child to open up and realize his potential. Special thanks to Victoria Matskevich (3rd grade teacher) for her work with children.

Don't mess with this school, they are scammers. They only care about money, they don't care about people and children. Unfortunately, we stepped on this rake, and now we are suing them.

Все что нужно о школе: отменили набор в новое отделение за 12 дней до 1 сентября, при этом половину родителей не предупредили. Отличный, проработанный подход.

Школа крутая но: у начальных классов забирают телефоны, некоторые учителя плохо относятся к детям. А так школа крутая 🤩 (p.s 4 класс)
