The Project „Stop Missing Opportunities” of Zlatarski International School is among the 45 European School Project awarded the financing of the Academy for Central European Schools

History
The motto of this year’s school initiative – “Building bridges in societies – volunteer in your communities” is linked to the European Year of Volunteering 2011/http://europa.eu/volunteering/bg/home2 . A total of 132 projects applied for the awards. The aim is to support those who work and take care of others and for society on a volunteering basis. For example, students who help their peers at school, the organisation of concerts for the elderly, students organising projects against discrimination. Everyone can be a volunteer and in addition to personal achievement, volunteering helps in the development of lifelong skills. The partnership between schools in two or three countries offer the opportunity for intercultural exchange by contributing for the ‘bridging’ of different cultures and societies.

The Project  „Stop Missing Opportunities” (September 2011 – March 2012)
This project is the result of the work of Zlatarski International School and th School for Economics and Tourism, Bar, Montenegro. The students are the main actors of the projects and they will have the chance to participate in numerous volunteering opporunities both in their home countries and in their partner school countries. One of the projects taking place in Bulgaria under the leadership of Zlatarski School students is the making of martenici (in both countries these are made, but these are made differently). The martenitsi will be then donated to the children in the Asen Zlatarov Home in Nadejda. The school exchange will not only enrich our students’ experience, but it will also contribute for the development of key skills such as teamwork, exchange of ideas and a greater feeling of tolerance and social responsibility. Last but not least, the students will be able to develop new friendships with their peers.

What next?
The Project Coordinator at Zlatarski School, Anna Joukivskaya, together with a student who will be nominated by the teachers and headmaster at the school, are officially invited to represent the school at the Kick-off Meeting in Saraievo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in September 2011. This initiative is part of the mission of Zlatarski School to develop active, responsible, risk-taking, tolerant young people, who contribute to the world around them without necessarily seeking a reward in return.

На 26 май 2011 в Гимназия Златарски се проведе сесия на Европейски Младежки Парламент (European Youth Parliament – EYP), на която взеха участие около 30 ученици от 8 до 11 клас, разделени в тематични комитети. EYP е уникална организация, която провокира огромен интерес сред младите хора от Европа на възраст между 16 и 22 години. Опитът, който младежите трупат в сесиите на Европейския младежки парламент, ги насърчава да се запознаят с начина на мислене, характеристиките и традициите на техните връстниците от другите европейски страни, да уважават разликите помежду си и да работят заедно за формирането на едно по-добро общо бъдеще.

More students aged 14-18 and their parents choose the international programmes International Baccalaureate (IB), IGCSE and A Levels due to the excellent academic reputation, the different programmes and most importantly due to the opportunities when applying to a top university in the world. Founded in 1995, Zlatarski School has established a reputation of a serious international school, which is an achievement for the whole school community – teachers, students and parents. The school offers the international programmes, which are integrated in the English language high school – the British Pre-IGCSE (8 grade), IGCSE (9 and 10 grade), International Baccalaureate/A Levels (11 and 12 grade). Graduates of Zlatarski School receive two diplomas: the  Bulgarian Diploma za Zavursheno Obrazovanie and the International – IB and A Levels.

What are the requirements of the top universities in the United Kingdom?
The most popular university programmes in recent years have been economics and finance, law, architecture, interior design, medicine and computer science. In order to be successful in their application to the most prestigeous British universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, King’s College, UCL, Imperial College, Warwick, York, St Andrews, students are often required to have successfully completed the International Baccalaureate or A levels (16-18 years old), with good results in IGCSE (14-16 years old). For example, at the London School of Economics around 96% of the undergraduate students have completed either the International Baccalaureate or A levels, with excellent results i.e. over 38 points in their IB Diplomas or marks A, A, A at A levels. To achieve such high results, of course, students need a solid preparation at school. Zlatarski School in Sofia offers its students these international programmes and students in Bulgaria have the opportunity to receive the required university preparation as those in the UK.

The beginning of the International Baccalaureate in Bulgaria
The idea of Zlatarski School to introduce the International Baccalaureate (IB) in Bulgaria was born in the year 2000. Representatives of the International Baccalaureate in Geneva visited the school for the first time in 2002, in 2003 Zlatarski School completed all programme requirements and thus it was authorized as the first International Baccalaureate World School in the country.

Successful integration of the IB in a Bulgarian school
The preparatory work around the integration of the International Baccalaureate in the curriculum of a Bulgarian English language school continued for several years.  The school received the support and authorization by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education. Thanks for the international cooperation with schools in Norway, Great Britain, France, Italy and Greece, Zlatarski School started teaching and administering the International Baccalaureate programme. The school has taught the International Baccalaureate programme for more than 10 years. More than 40 teachers have been sent abroad to receive their international qualifications and more than 180 students have received successfully their IB Diplomas. Teachers are certified abroad, the school laboratories are equipped according to strict regulations, and the textbooks and school materials are ordered from the UK. So far, Zlatarski School has earned the reputation of the most established and most academically successful International Baccalaureate school in Bulgaria.

Launch of the British IGCSE and A Levels in Bulgaria
Candidates are better perceived by top universities if in addition to their excellent results in the IB or A levels (11 and 12 grade), they have also completed the programmes IGCSE (9 and 10 grade) and Pre-IGCSE (8 grade). Zlatarski School established contacts with Cambridge and it started work on the integration of the British IGCSE and A Levels in Bulgaria. Therefore, in January 2010 Zlatarski became the first Bulgarian school, which teaches the IGCSE and A Levels.

Applying to a top university in the United Kingdom
A very important role is played by the student’s motivation essay and more importantly the school’s reference. To apply to a prestigeous university in the UK, a student has to use the UCAS system.  Schools in the UK have school UCAS accounts and this way, in addition to the student application, the school sends its recommendations. In 2008 Zlatarski School was linked to UCAS and it received a school UCAS account.  This way the school is part of the British application system and students’ applications are sent with a teacher’s recommendation and a head of school recommendation. This helps the students, especially when it matters which school the student comes from.  Zlatarski School also administers the admissions tests for Oxford and Cambridge in Bulgaria. Since 2011 the school launches a specific preparatory programme for those planning to study medicine, pharmacy and biotechnologies in UK universities. 

Results of Zlatarski School students in comparison to students around the world
The 10 years of experience Zlatarski School has as the first international school in Bulgaria contributes to the high results achieved by students. For example, students of Zlatarski School with results of 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 points in their IB Diplomas are currently studying at Oxford, LSE, King’s College, University College London, Warwick, Durham, Bath, etc. Clearly, to achieve such a high standard, a school needs a lot of time, energy and devotion by the school administration, teachers and students. It is an achievement for the school to offer students in Bulgaria the international programmes IB, A Levels and IGCSE, and to help them achieve excellent results, which then leads to a succesful admission in some of the most prestigeous universites in the UK.
