International Schools in Bucharest, Romania

International schools in Bucharest serve a mix of expatriate and local families and commonly offer the International Baccalaureate alongside British (English National Curriculum/IGCSE/A-level) and US-style programmes, with some French- and German-language schools and bilingual tracks also available. English is the dominant language of instruction at most international schools, but many schools build Romanian and other modern languages (French, German, Spanish, Mandarin and others) into the programme or run dedicated trilingual/bilingual streams. Annual tuition varies widely by school and year group: full-time early years places often start in the lower thousands of euros, while primary and secondary tuition at long-established international schools commonly ranges into the mid five-figure euro band for older year groups. Most schools operate a September main intake with applications and place reservations opening in the months before the new school year, and many use deposits, waiting lists and age-appropriate assessments for older entrants. Relocating families should budget for school fees plus transport and registration costs, check whether the chosen school follows a full PYP/MYP/DP IB pathway or a national curriculum, and confirm practicalities such as school bus routes, day-to-day hours and any residency or visa requirements that affect enrolment and fees.
