Brasov State School in Central Romania is officially recognized as a Cambridge International School
In a significant move for Romanian education, Andrei Saguna National College in Brașov has been recognised as a Cambridge International School. This prestigious accreditation marks the school's transition into a global educational community, offering students an internationally respected curriculum designed to enhance critical academic and life skills.
Founded in the 19th century, Andrei Saguna National College provides lower and upper secondary education for students aged 11 to 19. The school's mission is to expand its students' academic portfolios, attract new international partnerships, and prepare them to become global citizens ready for the future.
The adoption of Cambridge programmes, which will be integrated into the school's bilingual curriculum for students in grades 5 through 12, emphasises skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning. These programmes will focus on key subjects like mathematics, physics, and English, aiming to equip students with the tools they need to excel not only in their university studies but also in their future careers and personal development.
As the first Cambridge International-approved state school in Romania, the college sets a precedent and offers students an internationally recognised curriculum. This could potentially enhance their academic credentials and university admission prospects both locally and globally.
Being a Cambridge International School can also open doors to more international opportunities. These include exchange programmes, scholarships, and connections with a global network of schools, fostering a broader worldview for students.
Stelută Stefănescu, Country Manager and Senior Education Consultant, Romania for International Education at Cambridge, made the statement about the recognition. The school joins a global network of over 10,000 schools in more than 160 countries that offer Cambridge programmes.
Cambridge International Education provides qualifications to nearly one million students in 160 countries every year. The implementation of these programmes will support students in reaching their full potential and prepare them for success in a globalised world.
Andrei Saguna National College will begin offering internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International AS & A Level qualifications. The recognition from Cambridge International Education is a great honour for the college, and the school's principal, Carmen-Felicia Tańasescu, also made a statement about the recognition.
The college offers intensive and bilingual programs in widely spoken international languages such as English, French, and German. With this accreditation, Andrei Saguna National College in Brașov is approved as a provider of international education by the Ministry of Education. The transition to a Cambridge International School is set to bring numerous benefits to the students, the school, and the wider Romanian educational system.
Andrei Saguna National College, as a Cambridge International School, will integrate online education and learning into its curriculum for students in grades 5 through 12, enhancing their education-and-self-development by providing internationally renowned Cambridge programmes. This transition, backed by the Ministry of Education, could potentially open doors to various online-education opportunities, such as exchange programmes and scholarships, thereby fostering a global perspective and self-development for students.
