Introduction

Located in Sofia's Mladost 2 district at 10 General-Major Vasil Delov Street, Bulgarsko Shkolo Private Secondary School provides a bilingual, IB‑aligned pathway for international-minded learners. The campus blends Montessori groups and a secondary program, with Montessori foundations in the early years and a high school that follows the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) with a cross-disciplinary, concept-driven approach. In the upper years, the school embeds an Entrepreneurship profile, encouraging students to develop ideas through modules such as Entrepreneurship and Career Development, Market Economy, and Starting a Business. Language instruction includes an Extended English track—12 hours per week in 8th grade to reach C1 by graduation—and a second foreign language from 8th grade to reach B2. The school's language of instruction is reinforced by project-based learning and inquiry across eight MYP subject groups. Facilities include a 25‑meter pool, a universal sports hall, outdoor pitches, and the Overgaz Arena site, plus an on-site dining hall. The campus operates 09:00–17:00 with after-school activities from 17:00–18:00.

- All published tuition figures are annual amounts.

Accepted payment methods

- Publicly published pages list annual and additional fees, but do not publish specific payment channels (credit card, bank transfer, direct debit) on the fee summary page.
