16 June - 22 August 2025 Sofia from 8:30 to 17:00

Weekly programmes that spark learning, exploration, discovery and fun.

From 6 to 15 years – open to students from primary and secondary school

The “Summer Discovery Weeks” at Discover International School offer an exciting opportunity for students aged 6–15 to continue their learning and practice new skills during the summer. They provide opportunities for creativity, exploration, social interaction, and fun.

Each week is designed around a theme that students explore. Students engage in creative projects involving language, math, and science activities, art and music, outdoor games, field trips, and sports. The learning experiences inspire children’s creativity and support them in learning while having fun.

Explore. Create. Connect. Grow.

The learning environment is thoughtfully prepared with resources and hands-on activities to engage all of their senses while promoting great work, creativity, movement, cooperation and collaboration.

Abundant sunshine and fresh air are a must as children enjoy daily play on our nature-inspired playground, near by park, forest and mountain. Every week the students have a a Field trip for Culture Exploration and a Nature hike.
