History of First English Language School

     The idea of the formation of the English language school emerged in 1948. In 1950 the American college in Lovech was opened. In the beginning only two classes studied English but after their moving to Sofia in 1958 they received the status of independent educational institution and was named English language school. This was the first Language school specialized in the teaching of English language. In 1960 the school moved to its present address — 60 Dondukov Blvd., Sofia.

      In 1978 First English Language School became the first Bulgarian school in association with UNESCO.

     First English Language School is one of the most prestigious secondary schools in Bulgaria. Over 90% of the graduates of the school are admitted to Bulgarian or international universities.

     After 1987 many of the students who graduated from the First English Language School were accepted to world educational centres such as Cambridge, Oxford, London University, Stanford, Ponoma, Columbia University, and Harvard.

     It is a tradition for some of our graduates, after finishing their higher education, to return to the School as teachers. Of the 55 current teachers, 15 graduated from the First English Language School.
