The official accreditation of the AAS was provided by CIS and NEASC. Those who have successfully passed the IB Diploma Course acquire an internationally recognized IB (International Baccalaureate) diploma that allows them to continue their education at universities and colleges worldwide. The education, provided by AAS is particularly suitable for students who intend to continue their education abroad.
Can I apply for a scholarship if I am not from Sofia?
All Bulgarian students, who are currently in grades 7 and 8 and are not studying at the school, can apply for a scholarship.
Since AAS does not provide dormitories, the scholar should provide assurances that they live in Sofia with their parents or a responsible adult guardian approved by the school administration.
