Curriculum
The Anglo-American School curriculum seeks to combine elements of the American and British programs and emphasizes on individualized instruction.
Based on students’ age the school is organized into three major sections - Elementary (Preschool – Grade 5), Middle (Grades 6-8) and High School (Grades 9 – 12). Through Grade 5 the homeroom teachers are responsible for the four core areas of English (Language Arts), mathematics, science and social studies and follow recently revised curricula. In Grades 6 and 10 there is more specialized departmental teaching. At all levels the core program is supported by programs in art, French (from Grade 1), Spanish, ICT, music and physical education.
The curriculum has four core elements: Language & Literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The following subjects enhance our students’ learning and support our core program: Art, Music, Drama, Personal, Social, and Health Education, Physical Education and Bulgarian Cultural Studies.
The curriculum is supported by a range of computer hardware and software and by a spacious and well-resourced (with more than 15 000 volumes) library. There is an intensive ESL program from Grades 1-5 and a flexible resource program for students with some limited learning disabilities.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
