Admission of students complies with the requirements and conditions set forth by the Pedagogical Committee following relevant regulations by the Ministry of Education and Science. Please have a look at our Application Process page for more details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the tuition fee?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tuition for each level is updated every year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is an assessment necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>This is an opportunity for your child to visit the classroom and meet other children. It allows our team to get to know your child and assess their level of independence, curiosity, academic, social, and emotional development, and interests and to evaluate how we can support the development of your child\u2019s unique potential and talents. We assess the child&#8217;s academic knowledge, cognitive abilities, social-emotional development, and their potential to thrive in our holistic learning environment to ensure that your child will flourish within our learning communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you accept transfer students from non-IB schools?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We welcome transfer students from other schools, provided we have available spaces. Every child can benefit from a student-centred learning environment. During the admission process, we assess the child&#8217;s level of independence, academic proficiency, social and emotional skills, and readiness to integrate into one of our communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How early do we need to start the admission process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The process should be started as early as possible. However, it could take from 5 to 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us for further information at <span><a href=\"mailto:admissions@montessorischools.bg\">admissions@montessorischools.bg<\/a><\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>or \u00a0+359 87 8832823\u202c and +359 885500105.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"apply\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-apply\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Online application<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-apply\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"w-html\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverinternationalschool.openapply.com\/f\/62708\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IntroductionApplications for School Year 2026-2027ProcedureStudent EligibilityDocumentsTuition StructureAdmission FAQOnline applicationIntroductionWe are thrilled that you\u2019ve included Discover International School in your quest for the perfect educational fit.
