About international schools in Romania

British-curriculum international schools in Romania are concentrated in Bucharest with a smaller number of Cambridge/British-style schools in cities such as Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara, so most relocating families find the widest choice in the capital. These schools generally deliver the English National Curriculum and the Cambridge pathway (Cambridge Primary/Secondary, IGCSE and Cambridge International/AS/A-Levels), with teaching mainly in English and Romanian typically taught either as a modern language or as a mother-tongue option. Published fee guides for Bucharest show typical annual tuition in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of Romanian lei for many international schools, and most schools also charge separate enrolment deposits, exam and transport fees. Admissions commonly run on a rolling basis but popular year groups fill early, and schools routinely require identity documents, previous-school reports, language assessments and a registration deposit, so apply several months before your preferred start term if you can.

FAQs for Romania

What qualifications will my child take in a British-curriculum school in Romania?
Most British-curriculum schools in Romania follow the English National Curriculum through Key Stages, with external examinations such as Cambridge IGCSEs in Years 10 - 11 and Cambridge International/AS/A-Levels (or Pearson Edexcel variants) in the sixth form. Some schools combine UK-style qualifications with other pathways, so always check the specific exam programme a school runs.
How much do British international schools in Romania cost?
Tuition varies by city, age and school standard; fee surveys for Bucharest show many international schools charging in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of Romanian lei per year, while some long-established British schools publish higher annual fees and extra charges for registration, exams and bus services. Always request the full current fee schedule and ask what is not included (meals, trips, uniforms and assessment/exam fees are commonly extra).
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Many schools operate rolling admissions and will consider applications year-round, but competitive entry points (Reception, Year 7 and Year 10/Upper Secondary) often fill well before the autumn term; parents are advised to start the process several months in advance. Schools typically require a completed application form, proof of identity/visa, previous-school reports, a language assessment or entry test, and a registration/enrolment deposit.
What language support and language teaching can we expect?
Instruction is normally in English, and British-curriculum schools in Romania commonly teach Romanian either as a modern foreign language or as a mother-tongue option for Romanian nationals; many schools also offer other modern languages such as French, German or Spanish and provide EAL (English as an additional language) support for non-native speakers. If your child is not fluent in English, check the school’s EAL provision, entry assessments and how language progress is reported.
What should we check on a school visit to compare British-curriculum options?
Ask to see the school’s published curriculum maps, sample reports and assessment policies, check whether it is an authorised exam centre for IGCSE/A-Levels, and verify accreditations or inspection reports (for example Cambridge affiliation, membership of British international school bodies, or national recognition by Romanian authorities). Also review safeguarding and pastoral arrangements, class sizes, staff qualifications and how the school supports transitions for international and non-Romanian pupils.
