Tamarisi Hostel

Batumi’s worst school.

Nothing seemed organized, even at the administration level. Things were constantly mixed up, forgotten, or lost. One teacher didn’t show up because he’d overslept, and another was temporarily replaced by the cafeteria manager. The whole thing was beyond ridiculous.

If you’re looking for a school for your child, start here! They may not register the children, so if the Ministry of Education asks, the school says they don’t study here even though they do. That may be this school’s biggest advantage if you don’t want your children to be found! The children walk through a private area with sheds and no sidewalks, then along the roadway to a multi-story building and the playground. It’s a poor walk for kids. Inside, the corridors are narrow and the rooms feel more suited to offices than learning. There’s no space to turn around, it’s stuffy, there’s no way to go outdoors, and there’s no yard. Children are taken out for a walk and then brought back in, like in a prison. I wouldn’t want to be a child at a school with no room to run or move around. I’ll make a video review later! I highly recommend it; reviews on other sites are below C!

We were deeply disappointed with the school. Extracurricular activities are poorly organized, and communication with parents is very bad. The administration avoids responsibility and blames teachers or parents for problems. Information is often wrong or contradictory, so we have to check everything ourselves. It feels as if nobody cares about the well-being of the children or their parents.
