Academic Success at Cambridge School of Bucharest: Preparing Students for the World of Tomorrow

September 3, 2025

For over three decades, Cambridge School of Bucharest (CSB) has been committed to shaping confident, capable learners who thrive not just in the classroom, but beyond. As we enter our 31st year, we celebrate the enduring legacy of academic success, student well-being, and a community built on mutual respect and care.

A Proven Track Record of Academic Readiness

At CSB, our students benefit from a learning environment rooted in academic rigour, balanced by a strong sense of care and community. It is this combination that helps CSB students secure places at some of the world’s most respected universities across the UK, Europe, and the United States.

Graduates of Cambridge School of Bucharest go on to study at institutions including:

  • University of Cambridge
  • University of Oxford
  • London School of Economics (LSE)
  • University College London (UCL)
  • Bocconi University

  • TU Delft

  • San Francisco State University
  • University of the Arts London

…and many more.

Each year, our leavers follow diverse and ambitious pathways from medicine and law to engineering, economics, creative arts, and international relations. Their readiness is a testament to the school’s strong academic foundation and its ability to nurture curiosity, independence, and global-mindedness.

A Legacy That Spans Generations

There is no greater vote of confidence in a school than when former students return to enrol their own children. At CSB, we are proud to see a growing number of alumni becoming CSB parents, passing on the values and experiences they themselves once treasured.

They remember the strong relationships with teachers, the school’s commitment to student well-being, and the vibrant community spirit. They return because they know their children will be respected, seen, and supported in the same holistic way.

This sense of continuity and belonging—of growing together across generations—is a core part of what makes the CSB community so special.

Blending Tradition with a Vision for the Future

While rooted in the proud tradition of British education, Cambridge School of Bucharest is forward-thinking, continuously evolving to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the modern world.

We believe that true academic success lies not only in mastering knowledge, but in developing critical thinking, adaptability, and integrity. Students are encouraged to understand the world from multiple perspectives, to challenge ideas respectfully, and to engage with real-world issues in a meaningful way.

Two Pathways, One Goal: Success Beyond School

One of the unique strengths of CSB is the offering of both the A Level and International Baccalaureate (IB) pathways. This dual approach ensures that students can choose the academic programme that best suits their learning style, interests, and university aspirations.

  • A Levels offer subject specialisation, allowing students to pursue in-depth study in areas they are passionate about.
  • The IB Diploma Programme provides a broad and interdisciplinary education, fostering research skills, global awareness, and collaboration.

Whether students pursue the linear rigour of A Levels or the holistic breadth of the IB, they are guided by expert teachers who know how to bring out the best in each learner. Both routes are underpinned by a shared commitment to challenge, support, and personal growth.

A School that Truly Cares

At Cambridge School of Bucharest, academic success does not come at the cost of student well-being. On the contrary, well-being and safeguarding are at the heart of everything we do.

We understand that students perform best when they feel safe, respected, and valued. Our pastoral care systems are robust and proactive, ensuring every child has someone they trust and a support network that listens and responds. Staff receive regular training in child protection, emotional development, and inclusive teaching practices.

The result is a school culture where expectations are high, and so is empathy. Where students are not only challenged but also cared for. Where success is measured not just by grades, but also by confidence, resilience, and the ability to navigate life with purpose.

Looking Ahead

As we look toward the future, Cambridge School of Bucharest remains committed to nurturing academically ready, emotionally intelligent, globally aware young people. We are a school that blends the best of tradition with a deep understanding of the evolving world. We celebrate our past, but we are firmly focused on preparing our students for what lies ahead.

Academic success at CSB is not a destination, it is a journey of growth, empowerment, and lifelong learning.

We invite you to be part of that journey.
