Patardzeuli (Georgian: პატარძეული), is a village in Eastern Georgia, in Sagarejo District, of Kakheti Region, located about 50 kilometers from Tbilisi, the capital.
It was known in the past mainly because It is the hometown of a Georgian writer Giorgi Leonidze, to whom the public school is still dedicated.
Currently, Patardzeuli is known for Its beautiful surroundings, especially on the north side, bordering the Mariamjvari Strict Nature Reserve. It hosts two big schools: the above-mentioned public school, and the "Lyceum" Tsissière-Dighmelashvili (founded in 1996) where the students of the region have the opportunity learn European languages (mainly French and English) and culture.
Such schools are frequented every day by hundreds of students. Both schools have parks, are equipped with basic IT infrastructure, and offer a vegetarian canteen to all students and teachers.
