Astria Learning is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Sokhumi State University (SOU) in Tbilisi, Georgia. This collaboration aims to deliver scalable, high-quality digital education through innovative online learning solutions.
On July 4, 2025, Dr. Jeff Bordes, Founder of Astria Learning, and Ambassador Zurab Eristavi, Ecampus Partnership Manager, visited SOU’s main campus for a high-level meeting centered on advancing digital transformation in higher education.

Our mission is to empower institutions to deliver accessible, flexible, and globally competitive online education.
Empowering Higher Education in Georgia
During the visit, the Astria team introduced the university’s academic leadership to a forward-looking online education project, designed to meet the growing demand for flexible learning options in Georgia. The focus areas include Business and Information Technology, aligning with global workforce needs and the evolving interests of students.
The university’s academic staff actively participated in the session, engaging in a dynamic discussion about the program’s structure, student engagement models, and the strategic value of integrating online education into the university’s broader academic framework.
A Shared Vision for Innovation
Professor Zurab Khonelidze, Rector of Sokhumi State University, warmly welcomed the collaboration, noting that Astria Learning’s vision aligns closely with the university’s mission of introducing innovative teaching methodologies and fostering strong international academic relations.
