Newton Free School

The school is committed to the International Baccalaureate (IB) mission of nurturing caring, knowledgeable, and inquiring global citizens. Its educational philosophy centers on the IB Learner Profile, emphasizing critical thinking, international-mindedness, and the interplay of inquiry, action, and reflection to help students take responsibility for their own learning.

The school offers the full continuum of IB programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 5-12 (Grades 0-5), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11-16 (Grades 6-10), and the Diploma Programme (DP) for ages 16-19 (Grades 11-12). The DP curriculum includes six subject groups alongside the core elements of Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).

Newton Free School reports strong university placement success, with 100 graduates receiving 6,000,000 USD in funding and 300 invitation letters from international universities between 2022 and 2025. Graduates have secured places at prestigious institutions including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, MIT, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

The school’s educational approach is inclusive and differentiated, aiming to remove barriers to learning and embrace diversity. Primary school teachers and school psychologists are actively involved in the assessment and support of students, particularly during the initial admission process.

Admission is managed through a waiting list system for all prospective students. The process for the Primary Years Programme (PYP) includes an open-door day followed by interviews with teachers and school psychologists to assess school readiness in accordance with state standards. Transfer applicants are processed based on the availability of vacant places in the respective grade levels.

The school provides information regarding its academic calendar, though specific dates are subject to periodic updates. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the school directly for the most current scheduling information.

The school operates across two locations: a main campus in Tbilisi and a secondary site in Saguramo. The institution maintains partnerships with specialized external facilities to support student development, including the Patronus Kindergarten, a robotics academy, and sports academies for football, swimming, water polo, and basketball.
