Primary School Authorization in Georgia

The primary level of general education (grades I-VI) is a fundamental stage in a child's development. Opening a private primary school in Georgia is a popular and in-demand business, but it is tied to strict state regulations. The term "licensing" in the educational field is replaced by Authorization. This is a procedure without which a school has no right to enroll students or issue educational documents. Primary school authorization involves verifying infrastructure, curriculum, and teacher qualifications against state standards. Special attention is paid to safety and an age-appropriate environment.

This service is designed for entrepreneurs who wish to establish a primary school or undergo re-authorization. Specialists on Legal.ge will help you create a safe and legal educational space that meets all requirements of the Authorization Council.
