About international schools in Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Cluj-Napoca has a small but established set of international schools that serve both expatriate families and local parents seeking an English-medium pathway in a city known for its universities and growing tech sector. The dominant provision in the city is English-medium British/Cambridge programmes, often offered alongside bilingual Romanian - English options and occasional IB candidacy at primary level; lessons are typically delivered in English with other European languages taught as additional languages. Tuition across Romania varies widely, so expect to budget for annual school fees plus one-off costs such as application/enrolment fees, deposits, uniforms, transport and external exam charges. Admissions follow the normal school-year rhythm with the main intake in September; schools commonly run assessments and interviews and may offer rolling places for mid-year arrivals, so apply at least a term or two ahead and prepare school reports, passport and immunisation documentation.

FAQs for Romania

Which curricula will my child typically be offered in Cluj-Napoca?
Most international schools in Cluj follow British/Cambridge pathways (early years through IGCSE and A-Levels) or a bespoke English-medium primary programme; some providers advertise IB candidacy at primary level and bilingual Romanian - English streams are common. These pathways are chosen so that qualifications are portable for families who may move countries again and to align with British or European university entry systems.
How much should we expect to pay for international schooling here?
Fees in Romania vary a lot between providers; directory data shows a national range from modest to premium and an average around the national mid-point, so costs in Cluj tend to sit within that wider national spread. In addition to annual tuition, plan for application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit in some schools, transport or school bus charges, uniforms, and examination fees.
When should we start the application process and what documents are needed?
The main intake is in September, so families aiming for the new school year should contact schools as early as possible - ideally a term or two before entry - because popular year groups can fill and waiting lists form. Standard application paperwork includes recent school reports, passport copies, proof of residency or visa if required, immunisation records and sometimes a short school assessment or interview.
What ages and stages do international schools in Cluj cover?
Local international providers typically cover early years (nursery/kindergarten), primary and secondary phases, with some schools offering continuous provision through to age 18. Programme details and the exact age ranges offered vary by school, so check whether the school runs the full Cambridge/IB pathway or only specific stages before you commit.
What should visiting parents look for on a school tour?
Ask to see evidence of the specific curriculum in practice (timetables, sample reports, assessment policy), how English language learners are supported, pastoral and safeguarding arrangements, class sizes and teacher qualifications, and whether the school is an authorised exam centre for IGCSE/A-Levels or IB. Also check the extra costs that are not included in published tuition and speak to current parents where possible to understand day-to-day life and transport arrangements.
