About the school
Established in 2009, IH Sofia is a fast-growing school, with 3 main centres, based in the capital of Bulgaria. We have excellent team spirit and work closely with our students, parents, corporate clients and partner schools.
The school’s qualifications and extensive experience create diversity in the learning approach and personalisation of the courses according to the students’ needs and preferences. IH Sofia works only with highly qualified foreign teachers with extensive experience in teaching modern languages around the world.
Sofia is a city with a variety of events, international concerts, restaurants, bars, shopping streets, and a vibrant nightlife. Prices are very reasonable, meaning you can enjoy a great night out for around 40 Euros, including a 3-course meal, drinks, and entrance to clubs and bars. With the attractive salary and low prices, many teachers have an active social life and travel, while saving up to 400 Euros each month.
For those who love the outdoors, skiing and hiking are only 20 minutes from the centre and mountain ranges and beaches within a couple of hours. If you’d like to go further afield then Bulgaria borders Greece, Turkey, Romania and Serbia. Trips to Istanbul and Dracula’s castle are highly recommended.
