What do our students say?

Curriculum

At Avenor, the high school curriculum offers a balanced, relevant, and future-oriented educational pathway that supports each student’s academic and personal development. We combine international best practices with programmes developed in-house to create a coherent, rigorous, and flexible learning experience, adapted to the needs of a constantly changing world.

Learning covers essential areas such as English and modern languages, sciences, mathematics, humanities and social sciences, arts, technology, and computer science, with a strong focus on critical thinking, real-world application, and independence. Students are encouraged to explore, question, and build confidence in their own ideas within an environment that nurtures curiosity and continuous progress.

The academic pathway is aligned with Cambridge international standards, offering students the opportunity to progress from IGCSE to AS and A Level qualifications while choosing subjects that reflect their interests and aspirations. The curriculum is further enriched by subjects such as Romanian language and literature, which help our students develop their cultural identity, communication skills, and the confidence to express themselves clearly and effectively.

Beyond academic achievement, we nurture young people who can think independently, communicate effectively, and adapt confidently in a global world, prepared for top universities and for shaping their own path in life.

Career Guidance Programme at Avenor

At Avenor, we support our high school students in discovering their passions and building their pathway to the future through a well-structured Career Guidance Programme. The quality of this programme is confirmed by the Career Mark International Award, an international recognition that certifies excellence in careers education offered to our students.

In Grades 9 and 10, students develop leadership skills, take part in projects and entrepreneurial challenges, and begin to explore possible career pathways through a psychometric testing process. This helps them identify their strengths and interests, supporting them in choosing A Level subjects and making informed career decisions.

In Grades 11 and 12, the focus shifts to preparing personal portfolios, exploring universities and courses, and becoming familiar with the requirements and stages of the university application process. Students benefit from the support of our Career Counselling Team and the Unifrog online platform, which helps them identify the most suitable study programmes. Our counsellors, with extensive experience in guiding applications to universities worldwide, support our students all the way through to graduation.

Internships are an essential part of the Career Guidance Programme, offering real-world experiences in diverse fields – from medicine, arts and law to finance, STEM or civic engagement.

Our goal is for every Avenor graduate to be prepared not only for university admission, but also for life, becoming truly Future Ready.

Results

The high school pathway within the Cambridge international system is built progressively, enabling students to develop their academic competencies step by step and to define their future direction. Starting with IGCSE, continuing with AS Level and culminating with A Level, this pathway offers a clear yet flexible structure that encourages both academic achievement and independent thinking.

The results achieved by students reflect this progressive journey and confirm the level of preparation with which they complete each stage of high school.

 

Avenor’s Best A Level Results in History – 2026 AS Level

The 40 graduates in the Class of 2026 achieved Avenor’s best-ever results in the Cambridge A Level examinations. Eight of the graduates achieved A and A* grades in all the subjects they took.

These results enabled them to continue their studies at their first-choice universities in the UK and across Europe, including leading universities such as Bocconi University, Trinity College Dublin, the University of St Andrews, the University of Bristol, King’s College London and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The graduates will continue their studies in 8 countries, and the diversity of their academic choices is equally remarkable: from finance, economics and business and medicine to science and technology, law, psychology, humanities and the arts.

 

Excellent Results in the Cambridge AS Level Examinations 

 

The excellent results achieved in the Cambridge AS Level examinations reflect Avenor students’ high level of academic preparation and the seriousness with which they approach their educational journey. Six grade 12 students achieved outstanding results, with AAA grades in their first three subjects.

 

Excellent Results in the Cambridge IGCSE Examinations

The results achieved by Avenor students in this year’s Cambridge IGCSE examinations confirm the high academic standards reached by our students. The outstanding results include students who achieved only A* and A grades across all their examined subjects, as well as students who achieved combinations of A*, A and B grades.

 

A remarkable result was also achieved in Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language, where four grade 10 students achieved 100 PUM, the highest possible score on the Percentage Uniform Mark scale used by Cambridge.

The IGCSE results represent an important milestone in Avenor students’ academic journey and reflect their preparation for their next educational choices.

Events

Our high school students are involved in events, not only as participants, but often as organizers. In recent years, the events they have organised have brought together hundreds of community participants and often served a charitable purpose. In this way, students develop important skills in project management, which will help them later, regardless of the careers they choose.
