In a time when the quality of education and adapting to the needs of future generations are more important than ever, the International British School of Popești-Leordeni stands out as a beacon of excellence within the community. Founded in 2014 under the auspices of the Maria Natalia Extended-Day Kindergarten, the institution answered the parents’ need to provide children with a safe, modern, and inclusive environment, where the tradition of Romanian education blends harmoniously with international standards.
Over the course of its 12 years of activity, the school and kindergarten have educated more than 2,000 children, building a solid foundation for the development of academic, emotional, and social skills. The institution’s expansion followed an organic path:
- 2023: The Maria Natalia Kindergarten was officially accredited.
- 2024: The second location was inaugurated.
- 2025: An ultramodern facility, featuring high standards of safety and technological innovation, successfully incorporated the primary school level.
This consolidation process culminated in the launch of the International British School of Popești-Leordeni, the first international educational concept in the city. It brings all the units together under a shared identity, offering a comprehensive educational experience: “Roots in Romania, Wings to the World.”
An Educational Model Based on Authentic Values
The institution’s philosophy is rooted in fundamental values that guide every decision and educational project: CARE, CONNECT, GROW, and INSPIRE.
The school is coordinated by a Board of Directors comprised of experts in education, communication, law, and finance, alongside representatives of parents and the community. This structure ensures professionalism, transparency, and continuity. Consequently, every student benefits from a personalized experience tailored to their needs, preparing them for global challenges without losing touch with authentic Romanian values.
