International Schools in Bucharest? by megc74

Does anyone have any information on the quality of the international schools? From the limited research I've done, it seems that my family might benefit from living in the north side of the city where there is the Scoala Americana and the Mark ...

Kindergarten starts at age 5 in most of the international schools. Preschool is earlier (and usually paid out of pocket. companies usually only pay for children's schooling starting with kindergarten) Read More

Is anyone an English teacher? by Maykal

If so, and you are looking for private students, drop me a PM. I sometimes get people asking about classes and it would be a shame to let leads go to waste.

I am living in the Pipera area and could teach English privately. I don't speak Romanian but I can take on students with some knowledge of English Read More
