A Complete Educational Journey,
from Ages 2 to 18

Avenor offers a complete educational journey from 2  to 18 years, designed to support every child’s academic, personal and emotional development.

The Avenor educational journey is built around the Avenor Learner Profile – a framework of competencies and character attributes that defines what it means to be an Avenor graduate after 16 years of education.

This profile guides each child’s development throughout their school years, helping them gradually build the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to thrive both in school and beyond.

Avenor Nursery

The Avenor Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, complemented by elements of the Statutory Framework for Year 1 to ensure a smooth transition into primary education and beyond.

Children learn in a fully immersive English-speaking environment, where they develop their first skills through play, exploration and authentic learning experiences. Daily interaction in English, together with a genuinely international environment, supports the natural development of communication skills and confidence.

A distinctive feature of the Nursery experience is outdoor learning, with daily sessions in Băneasa Forest, where children explore, discover and learn through nature.

Primary School

Avenor Primary School delivers an integrated curriculum that combines the enhanced Romanian National Curriculum with elements of the British curriculum, alongside intensive English language learning and a strong focus on pupils’ personal development.

The programme is designed to provide a seamless transition from Nursery while building the essential knowledge and skills children need within a bilingual learning environment, preparing them for the next stage of their education.

Learning is centred around Project-Based Learning (PBL), giving pupils meaningful opportunities to apply their knowledge in authentic contexts while developing critical thinking and creativity. Learning extends well beyond the classroom through outdoor education, forest learning and educational trips, where pupils discover the world through exploration, collaboration and real-life experiences.

Middle School

Avenor Middle School follows the Avenor Curriculum, an integrated educational model that combines the enhanced Romanian National Curriculum with objectives drawn from the British curriculum, ensuring continuity and progression throughout the educational journey.

At this stage, the focus shifts towards consolidating academic achievement while fostering emotional development, independence and self-directed learning.

Students learn through transdisciplinary approaches, including STEAM and Project-Based Learning (PBL), within an international environment where English is used consistently as the language of teaching and learning.

The experience is enriched by a wide range of clubs, educational trips and student-led projects that encourage exploration, creativity and personal growth.

Avenor International High School

Avenor International High School follows the British curriculum, offering a structured academic pathway through the IGCSE and A Level programmes, taught entirely in English.

This pathway prepares students for admission to leading universities around the world while supporting a confident and successful transition to higher education through personalised guidance, independence and informed decision-making.

The academic programme is complemented by a comprehensive university and careers guidance programme, personalised counselling, internships and student-led initiatives that enable students to explore their interests and prepare for future opportunities.

While studying within the British education system, Avenor students continue learning Romanian language and literature, maintaining a strong connection with their language and cultural heritage within an educational journey that combines an international outlook with a deep appreciation of Romanian identity.
