Bucharest, Romania

There is only 1 American School which is very expensive. There are 2 British (English) schools at opposite sides of the city.Virtually all schools call themselves International even if some have 50% local children.There are lots of kindergardens that say they are 'English style' but are in fact owned and run by Romanians. Near Baneasa airport is The International Primary School which takes children from 2- 10 years old.
It really depends what kind of education you want - American, English or International.
Bucharest in your Pocket lists the main schools.
