School Organisation

School Schedule Schooling at Zlatarski School is half-day. Classes start at 8am and finish at 2pm - Monday to Friday. This schedule is designed to allow students enough time for self-study after school. On Mondays - from 13.30 to 14.30 students participate in various school projects, take part in school clubs and activities. On Fridays - from 13.30 to 14.30 students engage in sport activities. The school year is divided into four parts, each of which ends with grades in every subject. The grade is based on oral presentations, written examinations, homeworks, independent assignments, class work and term tests. The school offers further help in the form of teacher consultations to students in need. School holidays take place according to the schedule of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education.

Direct contact with parents The cooperation between parents and teachers, the concern for the individual progress of every student, the relaxed and encouraging atmosphere of the school community contribute largely to the effective functioning of the school. Periodically, the school sends out to parents academic progress checks for the individual work of their children. Two parents meeting take place each term. The school contacts immediately the parents in the case of a student's absence from school. Parents are welcome guests and participants in all school activities and actively cooperate in shaping the school policy.

Insurance and Medical Care Students are insured in the case of an "accident". The school building and campus are secured at all times. The medical condition of the students is under the supervision of a school paediatrician.

School transport The school operates a number of school buses, which take students to and back from school as well as to and back from sites for extracurricular activities. The minibuses follow routes, devised according to the students' addresses.
