Tbilisi family guide 2026 Tbilisi families trade Western tuition stress for compact geography: British School of Georgia lists near $8,000 yearly, QSI around $12,000, Cambridge International near $5,000—still far below London or Zurich. Georgian public school is free but Kartvelian-language heavy, so expat kids usually land in private tracks. Vake pairs safer streets with green space; Saburtalo trades cost for Soviet-era lifts. Iashvili Children's Hospital anchors public emergencies while Evex covers private pediatrics. Budget $2,000–3,500 monthly for a family of four including clubs and weekend Racha trips. July and August highs hit 35–38°C—plan AC and pool memberships.
