IB Curriculum International Schools in Romania

Romania has a small but active group of IB World Schools - mostly concentrated in Bucharest with a few options in cities such as Cluj and Timișoara - and the country’s IB provision includes the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. Instruction is most commonly in English, with many schools offering Romanian alongside English and occasional bilingual tracks in other European languages. Annual tuition varies widely by city and school: countrywide estimates range from the low thousands of dollars up to around $26,000 - 27,000 a year, with Bucharest schools generally at the higher end and local published guides showing typical Bucharest fees in the local currency. Schools normally follow the Romanian school calendar with the main intake in late August or early September (and a smaller January entry at some schools), so families planning to relocate should start enquiries several months ahead to allow for assessments, waiting lists and any visa or residency paperwork.
