Introduction

Avenor College is a non-profit, bilingual international school rooted in Romanian culture, educating students aged 2 to 18, from Nursery to Grade 12. Founded in 2007 with just five students, Avenor has grown into a community of almost 800 students and more than 170 staff members. Today, all our educational stages are brought together on our purpose-built campus, bordered by Băneasa Forest in Bucharest. Our vision is to co-create a positive and progressive educational landmark not only for Romania, but for the rest of the world. We co-create for each individual student a challenging learning experience, providing them with the knowledge, competencies and character they need for the future. Our educational philosophy At Avenor, excellence in education is one of our core values. Our educational philosophy is built around the 3Cs: Conceptual Learning, Competency Learning and Character Learning. We believe that education should go beyond the acquisition of knowledge. Students need to understand the world deeply, develop the competencies to navigate it confidently and build the character to use their knowledge and skills responsibly. Conceptual Learning focuses on developing a deep understanding of important ideas and the connections between them, rather than simply memorising information. Competency Learning develops the ability to apply knowledge in different contexts, through skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, problem-solving and independent lea
