AISB was founded in 1962 by the US Embassy to serve the educational needs of the American and international expatriate community. As the school has grown, many local Romanian families have become part of the school community together with expatriate families from government, business, and social welfare organizations.
AISB has a population of approximately 950 students from 60 nationalities attending the Early Years program at age 2 through Grade 12. Romanians comprise approximately 30% of the student population, North Americans 14%, and Turkish, Israeli and Germans approximately 4% each. The balance are from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and South and Central America.

We believe that:
Clear thinking leads to good decisions,
Good decisions lead to the right habits,
The right habits lead to character and
Character becomes destiny.

BCA is the only fully American international school in Bucharest that follows a holistic education approach—caring for a child’s intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth—while teaching from a Christian worldview and philosophy of education.
