Royal School is a member of the wider family of British International Schools and our policies reflect best practice in the United Kingdom, but shaped to suit our Romanian context.
Quick Links:
Cambridge examinations occur each year in 3 sessions: March, June, and November.
There are multiple levels of examination: Primary Checkpoints (in Year 6), Lower Secondary Checkpoints (in Year 9), IGCSE (in Year 11), AS Level (in Year 12), and A level (in Year 13).
For Primary Checkpoints and Lower Secondary Checkpoints, only candidates who study at our school can be enrolled.
IGCSE, AS and A Level exams are available for everyone. This means, as an examination centre, we also offer the opportunity to take the IGCSE, AS Level and A Level exams to Private Candidates.
Below you will see prices for both the internal (Royal School students) candidates, and external candidates.
