International Audit

Our History

The school was audited and recommended by two reputed international Universities: CEU Business School and Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business.
Our project is internationally recommended, supported by Romanian legislation, supported by Professional Ambassadors and Excellence Ambassadors, supported by expert communities in  Germany, USA and the EU.
More than 330 gifted children already graduated our Academic Program. Altogether, after 14 years we have now over 4000 hours of expertise and direct work with gifted and we have fine tuned our abilities in relationship with our target group.
Parents started to ask for more. Right now, due to an increased interest in the program, we have decided to open Leonardo Gifted School, an alternative school dedicated exclusively to gifted, in an international setting, mindset and curriculum.
Our school will comprise in its first year a maximum of 33 children.
