Our Schools

Building the Future of the Pankisi Valley

Help us to develop their future.

At the Roddy Scott Foundation (RSF), we believe in the power of language to open doors. By delivering high-quality English education led by dedicated local teachers, we aim to equip young people in Georgia’s Pankisi Valley with the tools they need to thrive—academically, socially, and professionally. Through education, we help them challenge stereotypes, overcome social and economic barriers.

RSF is proud to run the longest-standing educational development initiative in the Pankisi Gorge. Our team of seven local Kist educators and administrators manages four schools across the villages of Duisi, Jokolo, and Koreti. These schools offer free, after-school English and computer classes to more than 200 students aged 12 to 17.

Demand for our classes is high—and with good reason. RSF students consistently earn top English language scores in the region, regularly go on to study at Georgia’s most prestigious universities and beyond.

Our impact speaks for itself: RSF students are leading the way, achieving some of the highest English results in their pre-university exams year after year.
