The school restaurant is provided by Furisto (ZELEO) since 2020. Furisto uses selected products and Green Farm organic dairy. The menus are balanced and varied, built around a starter (two options – soup or salad), a main course with garnish (at least one meat or fish dish and one vegetarian dish), a dairy product, a dessert and bread. Portions and weights follow age-appropriate standards. In nursery and CP meals are served at tables, while in elementary, middle and high school service is self-service with educational assistants. Contacts: vhugo@furisto.com; 0882 513 352.
The school is governed by the Victor Hugo Association, consisting of a Board of Directors (10 parents elected for 2-year terms), a Management Committee (the Board plus 3 members from the diplomatic post with voting rights, including the Principal, the Primary School Director, the financial and administrative director, and staff or schooling representatives with advisory capacity), and the General Assembly (all parents). The Board meets as needed. The school is a member of the AEFE network.
Victor Hugo Lycée Français de Sofia is a French AEFE-conventionné school in Sofia serving ages 2 to 18, under the Embassy of France. Founded in 1966, it educates about 800 pupils from maternelle to terminale, with most teaching by French staff and Bulgarian specialists where needed. It follows the French national curriculum, including the three-year nouveau lycée; students progress from 2nde to 1ère and terminale, selecting three specialty subjects in 1ère and two in terminale for the Baccalauréat. A language-focused approach integrates the host-country language for all students and promotes English and other languages in a multicultural setting. The academic life centers on the Centre for Knowledge and Culture (3C), a library and knowledge hub with databases and a librarian to support information literacy and autonomous learning. Facilities include a Furisto-run restaurant, daycare and holiday camps, and a Sports Association offering badminton, basketball and tennis (NSA venues). The school runs a multilingual web radio and a program of after-school clubs.
