Schools & Kindergartens in Georgia — by City and District
Public and private schools and kindergartens listed by district — walking distance to school is part of the housing decision.
Source: open map data (OSM) — curated sync. The list reflects what is mapped and fills in gradually — a missing school means it is not on the map yet. District assignment is approximate (nearest quarter) and is not an official school catchment.

How enrollment works
Public school (grade 1)
First-grade registration happens in spring, based on the family’s actual residence — parents apply to the school or file an electronic application. Required: parent’s ID, child’s birth certificate, a photo. From grade 2, transfers depend on free places.
Kindergarten
Municipal kindergartens register children through the city hall’s unified system (in Tbilisi — the mayor’s kindergarten office), electronically, after free places are published. Required: the child’s birth certificate and parent identification.
Private school and kindergarten
Private schools enroll by contract at any time of year if a place is free. Fees range from several hundred to several thousand GEL a month — confirm the exact price with the school.
What to check when buying “near a school”
There is no official school catchment in Georgia — allocation follows actual residence, so verify: real walking distance (on the map), free places in your grade, alternative public/private options nearby, and the kindergarten queue if you have a small child.
Frequently asked questions
Are there official school catchment zones in Georgia?
No — allocation follows the pupil’s actual residence. An address helps when buying but does not guarantee a place; confirm free spots with the school directly.
Where does the list come from?
Open map data (OSM) — whatever is mapped. It fills in gradually; district grouping is approximate, for navigation, not official zoning.
When should we join a kindergarten queue?
Right after birth or your move — city hall publishes free places periodically and the queue rewards early registration. A queue does not transfer to a new municipality when you move.
Is a private school better than a public one?
Depends on the child and family: public schools are free and quality varies by school; private ones add flexibility (languages, class sizes) at hundreds to thousands of GEL monthly. Compare both in the same district.
How do I find a flat near a specific school?
Open the map, find the school and browse listings around it — or jump to the map straight from a district page.
