Work Experience at Yuno Clinic ✨ One of our valued partners, where students explored the clinical environment and gained a first introduction to paediatrics 🏥👶

This experience reflects IBSB’s commitment to learning beyond the classroom — connecting knowledge with real-world insight and future career pathways 🚀

Thank you, Yuno Clinic, for the warm welcome and support 🤍

We are proud to celebrate Radu Nedea, selected to represent Romania at the International Economics Olympiad in Shenzhen, China (12–20 July 2026), and at the continental stage of the World Economics Cup. 🌍

Wishing Radu every success on this exciting international journey!

IBSB pupil recruited by Goldman Sachs 🙌🎓

We are always proud to welcome back our IBSB alumni — and this week, we had the pleasure of catching up with Medeea Constantinescu (Class of 2023).

An outstanding student during her time at IBSB, Medeea achieved A* grades at IGCSE and A grades at A Level, while also serving as Deputy Head Girl. She went on to study Economics at Bocconi University, one of Europe’s leading institutions and a recognised pathway to top global firms such as Goldman Sachs.

From early on, Medeea was determined to pursue a career in Mergers & Acquisitions. Through dedication and hard work, she built an impressive profile — including work experience at Morphosis Capital, a summer internship at Raiffeisen Bank, and representing Romania at the International Economics Olympiad, where she earned a Silver Medal.

We are delighted to share that Medeea has now been selected as one of just 20 candidates worldwide to join Goldman Sachs after graduation.

Reflecting on her journey, Medeea highlighted that while top universities open doors, what truly sets candidates apart is excellence beyond academics — from competitions and internships to achievements in sport and the arts.

We are incredibly grateful for her visit and even more excited that she will return in September to share her experience and advice with our students.

IBSB pupils perform at world’s largest Shakespeare festival🙌

This year, six very lucky pupils from the International British School of Bucharest had the honour of being invited to perform on stage at the Craiova Shakespeare Festival, which has been running for 30 years and is now officially the largest Shakespeare Festival in the world, with more than 500 lectures, workshops, and live performances from 81 countries over 10 days, from May 20-31.

The pupils were 1 of just 5 troupes invited to perform an original script from hundreds of submissions from a worldwide competition, premiering 'What Can Be Postponed', by author Ana Oprea Liferi.

It was an incredible life-changing experience for our pupils, which included VIP passes to watch any of the plays on offer: the pupils chose to watch Hamlet in Georgian (With English subtitles), a dance performance of Othello, an interactive performance of King Lear by an American troupe, and modern rendition of Two Gentlemen of Verona in Spanish (also with English subtitles for those not fluent in Spanish).

We would like to thank the following: our dedicated drama teacher, Leah Fisher, for going the extra mile in supporting our pupils afterschool and on the weekend to be ready for opening night; Mirela Gaman, event organisers extraordinaire, for her hospitality and wonderful organisation skills throughout our trip; and Vlad Dragulescu, the festival Director, for his kind invitation and vision to open up the next edition of the festival to British Schools from around the world in the spring of 2028, offering the pupils from IBSB the opportunity to pave the way in this year’s 2026 edition.

🎓 Mathematics, Mastered 🎓
A huge congratulations to Andrei Peli on receiving offers from leading Top 100 universities, including Warwick, Bath, UC Davis, UC San Diego, and securing his place at University College London (UCL) to study Mathematics.

At IBSB, Andrei has excelled academically, achieving an A–A* average at IGCSE, an A average at AS Level, and holding predicted AAA* in Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics. Known for his depth of thinking and originality, he has taken his passion for mathematics beyond the classroom through research, competitions and real‑world applications.

🌟 A remarkable journey ahead at UCL — we can’t wait to see where his talent takes him next.

Today we celebrated our Year 6 students ✨
with moments full of laughter, memories and a few proud tears 💙

From performances to unique awards—some funny, some more serious…and each one told a little story about them 🌱

A beautiful way to close one chapter… and begin another 🎓

Sayspeakspell in full swing ✨

A day of words, confidence and expression- where every speech, every spelling challenge and every recitation moment builds something bigger 🎤🔤🙌🏻

Learning beyond the classroom 🎨
As part of their Work Experience programme, our students joined Vikart, Casa de Licitații at MoBU – the International Contemporary Art Fair, where they experienced the vibrant world of contemporary art and the dynamics of a professional art event.
