“After every visit to Letterato, Sandro comes back more grown, more educated, and more independent. I'm glad that today there is a place where adolescents learn to love books, to think critically, and — along with all of that — to build relationships with their peers.”

— Lika Giorgadze, parent

School teaches subjects. Letterato teaches thinking.

That is why this course exists: twice a week, systematically, we develop reading, reasoning, and independent thinking. Adolescents leave their screens behind and gather to run everything that moves the world through the filter of critical thinking. We travel through the history of ideas and culture, decode the nature of the state and of humanity, and learn independent, reasoned argument. This isn't just a book‑reading course — it's a weekly practice of broad education, personal growth, and deep relationships.

One course — two classes

Two sessions a week — growth in two directions:

1

Literacy module

Comprehension, empathy, and imagination. A space where a book isn't just reading material but the best way to understand oneself and others — strengthening emotional intelligence.

2

Critical thinking module

Logic, analysis, and solid argumentation. Here adolescents gain broad knowledge and learn to filter information critically and to defend their position with confidence.

Books that adolescents actually care about

  • Carefully chosen literature

    From world classics to modern masterpieces — texts that resonate with their everyday lives.

  • The student is the protagonist

    An interactive space where the mentor is a guide and the students lead the discussion.

  • Room for living ideas

    We connect what we read to real life, current challenges, and personal experience.

  • There's no single 'right answer'

    We don't ask for formulaic answers; every unique perspective is encouraged and valued.

Logic, arguments, and intellectual courage

  • Logic as a compass

    We learn the fundamentals of logic, cause‑and‑effect, and fact‑based reasoning.

  • Information immunity

    We build an analytical eye — how to tell a reliable source from manipulation and fake news.

  • The evolution of ideas

    We explore fundamental themes from philosophy, psychology, economics, politics, and art.

  • Learning by doing

    We bring theory to life with real cases, role‑play, and simulations.

Letterato — an ecosystem for adolescents

The value of the program is far more than teaching. With us, every student becomes part of a complete environment:

Books

We provide every book you need — no extra purchases required.

Meeting inspiring adults

Monthly meetings with leaders and guest speakers from different fields.

Their own media — 'Matrix'

An e‑journal where students are the authors, editors, and designers.

Their own voice — podcasts

A space where students record podcasts on the topics that matter to them.

A mentorship tradition

Older students pass experience to younger ones — growing leadership.

Cultural adventures

Field trips to museums, exhibitions, and creative spaces.

Their own stage

Public events where they learn to perform before a large audience.

Real socializing

Gatherings, themed parties, and friendships that last for years.
