Education Stages

First Stage

The initial phase of upper secondary education at our school commences with an intensive English language course in the 8th grade. Students are grouped into four study levels (streams) based on their English proficiency, ranging from beginners to advanced. Following this preparatory year, from 9th to 10th grades, all general mandatory subjects are instructed in English.

This education stage also emphasizes innovative curricula designed to cultivate various student skills, such as teamwork, presentation, leadership, goal-setting, communication, and efficient management of time and resources.

Completion of the First Upper Secondary Education Stage
Upon completing the first stage, students undertake national examinations in Bulgarian Language and Literature, Mathematics, and English.

Second Stage

In the subsequent stage of upper secondary education, students select one of four specialized programs: Foreign Languages, Entrepreneurship, Software and Hardware Sciences, or Natural Sciences.

Students engage in 20 hours of compulsory program subjects weekly, during which they are urged to actively pursue their career development.

By the 11th and 12th grades, students are well-prepared to successfully complete C1 and C2 levels of international English proficiency exams such as PTE, IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT. These certifications open doors to further academic opportunities.
