I shall always treasure the years that my children spent as students of IBSB. For 13 years I witnessed their continuous development, encouraged by skilled teachers, surrounded by love and laughter. Their results: amazing! Alex finished Cambridge University and now finalizes his master’s degree at UCL, while Catrinel is doing two simultaneous major degrees at Yale University. All done with very little help from me – a busy mother – and lots of help and encouragement from their beloved IBSB.

The teachers at IBSB make you feel valued, like everything you do is important and actually matters. They offer you great advice on a day to day basis, believing in you, making you feel like your dreams are achievable, and so in the end I achieved my dream of going to LSE.

In my six years at IBSB, I met not only some of my best friends, but also some really talented and dedicated teachers, with whom I still keep in touch. They helped me achieve the goals I set for myself and encouraged me to get involved in extracurricular activities such as debating and Model United Nations. I had the chance to develop both personally and academically and I realise now that I am at university that they prepared me well for university life.

As a teacher who taught at IBSB for 3 years, I can say without reservation that IBSB is a warm community school with great teacher-parent-student relationships and an educational culture committed to the success of each and every student.

The most unique feature of my experience at IBSB is the proximity I had to the teachers who always had the students’ best interests at heart. It was only when I got to university that I realized how important it was to have had these one on one interactions with teachers, especially as they were so supportive of each student’s learning style.

If you have the will, IBSB shows you the way!

Before IBSB my daughter was enrolled in a state owned school, and although she was a good and hardworking girl, it was the supportive, caring, and dedicated team of staff at IBSB that enabled my daughter to become the confidant, academically successful student she is today. At IBSB, Catrinel learned the true value of team work, becoming a compassionate, caring person with the ability and confidence to pursue her dreams

Having lived in London for the last 10 years, when we moved back to Bucharest a year ago, the choice of school for our son was one of the most important decisions in front of us. Having done a full scan of the market, we immediately knew that IBSB was the right choice. The school combines a very high academic level of the British curriculum with a fantastic human touch, unique to this school. We feel our son is nurtured and challenged at the same time, loved but stretched, taught to give as much as to take. We also love the school community, a big family really, again nurturing a spirit of humanity which we enjoy, and we know will be critical to our son in both his personal and professional life.
