(P) Cambridge School of Bucharest welcomes students for an exciting new academic year

A familiar sense of excitement fills the air as students, parents, and educators eagerly gather at the gates of Cambridge School of Bucharest (CSB) once again, marking the beginning of yet another year of growth, achievement, and boundless opportunities.

Reflecting on the triumphs of the previous year, CSB continues to build on its legacy of success. Notably, every student who undertook their IGCSE and A-Level exams in May 2023 emerged ecstatic, with an outstanding pass rate. A staggering 49% of A Level students achieved the highest grades of A and A , while 53% of IGCSE students earned the coveted A-A grades. A handful of students walked away with all A*s, which is a testament to the unwavering support and innovative teaching methods that our faculty employ, fostering an environment where students thrive and reach their full potential.

Central to the thriving community is the remarkable diversity of nationalities, contributing to the rich tapestry of this school. This melting pot of cultures and backgrounds allows global points-of-view to intertwine, enriching the educational experience and preparing students for the globalised world they will one day lead.
