Lower Secondary

The Lower Secondary programme at St. George International School and Preschool is designed for students from Grades 5 to 7, with a focus on developing competencies in mathematics, science, literature, and grammar in both English and Bulgarian languages. The programme is designed to comply with the Cambridge Secondary Education for Key Stage 3, as well as the State Educational Standards of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria.

Students are required to master specific terminology in any subject using both languages. The programme also includes specialised tools for developing presentation skills and debating, helping students to become effective communicators.

In addition to English Language as a First Language and English as a Second Language, students also study Modern Foreign Languages. They choose one modern foreign language from the ones offered by the school if they have enough proficiency in English as a first language.

The curriculum covers a range of subjects including Bulgarian Language and Literature, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History, Man and Nature, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Information Technology, Music and Performing Arts, Arts, Technology & Entrepreneurship, Physical Education, Debating and Public Speech, Drama, and Wellbeing and Civil Education.

The programme in Grade 7 is focused on achieving high academic results on the National External Assessment and Cambridge Secondary Checkpoint, as well as preparing students for the transition to high school. This ensures that students have the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in their future academic endeavours.

Upper Secondary

Our objective at this stage at St. George International School and Preschool is to support all students in building upon the successes in their academic knowledge as well as preparing them both practically and emotionally to achieve excellent results required for higher education.

The Cambridge IGCSE programme aims to provide a comprehensive education for students in Grades 8 to 10, with a focus on preparing them for further education and employment. The curriculum includes a range of subjects, including English language and literature, modern foreign languages, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts. At the end of the course, students take IGCSE exams in various subjects, including English, math, and science, and Bulgarian students also take the National External Assessment exams. The school also focuses on supporting students with their future university applications and professional orientation.

Based on the achieved results in the previous stage and the set goals with the academic team of the school, in the 11th grade, students can continue their education by:

• Choosing three profiling subjects to obtain an A-Level certificate according to Cambridge International Education. In this case, Bulgarian citizens also study Bulgarian language and literature to prepare for their matriculation exam and obtain a Bulgarian diploma.

• Opting for education in the "Natural Sciences" profile in Bulgarian, supplemented by intensive preparation in English and mathematics in accordance with Bulgarian state educational standards.

A major aspect in the preceding couple of years are the activities related to the building of a successful application portfolio for each student. It requires arranging meetings with different organisations and specialist career orientation, opportunities for participation in work experience initiatives, volunteering, competitions in a variety of fields, local and international events, as well as various sport opportunities and more.

Our senior students have at their disposal their own area for self-preparation, relaxation and interaction, which gives them many possibilities for independent learning and the planning of projects as well as developing their management skills.
