Kindergarten, Cambridge and IB study

The school lists ages 2–18 and English as the teaching language. Kindergarten leads to school-age Cambridge study, IGCSE and the IB Diploma. Grade 1 begins at age 6. Confirm the programme and subject choices for the child’s actual grade; the associated Plovdiv school has a separate campus and profile of provision.

Reports, language level and placement

Submit the online form, identity documents and previous school reports in English or Bulgarian. Grades 4–8 have English and maths placement requirements. Entry into IGCSE and IB involves stage-specific exams, with interviews or trial days as applicable. The school lists A2 English for Grades 3–4 and B1 from Grade 5; it also says Grades 1–3 do not take entrance exams. Ask how Grade 3 language readiness is established.

Language preparation before entry

Applicants who do not reach the required English level may need the school’s Fast ForWord programme and, where applicable, at least a month of summer school. These are specific admissions requirements, not evidence of support for every learning need. Ask about the timing, extra cost and specialist support capacity before committing to a place.
