The secret of good teaching is to regard the child\u2019s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorise, but so to tough his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

Discover a World of Learning and Personal Growth<\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Discover School harmoniously blends the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) with the Montessori approach to offer an enriching, child-centred educational journey. Here, every child is an explorer, ready to navigate the vast seas of knowledge in a bilingual setting that respects and nurtures individual potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The Best of Both Worlds<\/span><\/span><\/h4>

IB PYP:<\/b> Our school is proud to implement the IB PYP, a globally recognised program that encourages students to be active, caring, lifelong learners. The PYP framework empowers children to inquire into various issues and ideas of local and global significance, fostering a sense of responsibility and an international mindset.<\/p>\n

Montessori Approach:<\/b> Complementing the PYP, our Montessori classrooms provide a prepared environment where children can freely choose from various developmentally appropriate activities. This approach promotes independence, self-discipline, and a love for learning, ensuring that our students excel academically and develop into well-rounded individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

A Bilingual Adventure, Power of Imagination and Critical Thinking<\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Language is the key to understanding the world. Our bilingual program immerses children in both English and Bulgarian, enabling them to develop fluency and appreciation for cultural diversity. Through engaging, real-life contexts, students learn to communicate confidently and express themselves creatively in both languages. Our bilingual program gives a constructive space for the children to use their new powers of reason and imagination as they move into a new phase of life with a new focus on the mind: the moral-social and intellectual abstract. We give grandeur and a mystery to fuel the tendency for exploration and abstraction and feed the hungry intellect. We enlighten the children about details so they can connect the concepts and relate them to the whole. Every time the child works with a piece of material or makes observations of nature, the mind is building generalisations based on patterns discovered. The imagination allows the child to travel in time and space. Whether or not a child is interested in the arts, literature or science, the guides encourage each child to create rather than consume knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
