Georgian-American High School (GAHS) and Georgian-American High School of Vake (GAHSV) proudly represented Georgia at the XPERTSTEM Boston Elite Final 2026, one of the world's leading international STEM competitions, bringing together participants from more than 50 countries.
A delegation of 23 students and 4 mentors traveled to the United States to compete in the international finals while also taking part in an inspiring educational program designed to broaden their academic and cultural horizons.
As part of the visit, students explored some of the most iconic landmarks of Boston and New York City and participated in academic visits to two of the world's most prestigious universities - Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
During these visits, they toured the campuses, learned about the universities' history, academic programs, research opportunities, and student life, gaining first-hand insight into the educational environment that has shaped generations of world-renowned scientists, innovators, and leaders.
The competition concluded with exceptional achievements for the GAHS & GAHSV delegation:
6 Gold Medals
4 Silver Medals
13 Bronze Medals
Multiple International Cash Awards
Beyond medals and awards, XPERTSTEM provided students with invaluable international experience, opportunities to collaborate with peers from around the world, develop innovative thinking, strengthen problem-solving skills, and build lasting friendships. The competition inspired participants to pursue excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while proudly representing both their schools and Georgia on the international stage.
This remarkable success reflects the dedication of our students, the guidance of our mentors, and the continuous commitment of GAHS & GAHSV to providing world-class STEM education and preparing future global leaders.
We congratulate every participant, their families, mentors, and the entire school community on this outstanding achievement and look forward to many more international successes in the years ahead.
