International Schools in Sofia, Bulgaria

Sofia’s international schools form a small but diverse sector: you will find English-medium British and American-style schools, several International Baccalaureate (IB) schools, French-language provision and a number of bilingual programmes that combine Bulgarian with an international curriculum. Fees vary widely by school and by age, with early-years provision often cheaper than secondary IB or full international programmes; recent market guides show typical annual tuition broadly spanning lower-cost English-provision schools up to higher-fee international secondary places. The main intake for most schools follows Bulgaria’s autumn school year, but many schools operate rolling admissions where places are available - competitive secondary entry and popular programmes can have earlier timelines. Relocating families should budget for translation of school reports, proof of immunisations, passport documentation and possible entrance testing or English-language support when they apply.
