Tucked away on Dimitrie Pompeiu Boulevard no. 3, in Sector 2 of Bucharest, Ita Wegman is a public school founded in 2002. It stands out as one of the few institutions in Romania that offers education based on the Waldorf alternative, a method focused on the holistic development of the child — emotionally, cognitively, and socially.
The school provides primary, middle, and high school education, with bilingual instruction in Romanian and German. It's a unique environment where individuality is valued, and where students are encouraged to explore learning beyond textbooks.
For the high school level, two specializations are available:
- Natural Sciences – real profile, Romanian-German bilingual
- Social Sciences – humanities profile, Romanian-German bilingual
There is no entrance exam for language proficiency, and the admission is based on the national admission system. In the 2022–2023 school year, the lowest average grade for admission was 8.30 for Natural Sciences and 8.29 for Social Sciences — indicating a competitive yet accessible entry.
Students benefit from:
- An intensive German language program
- A wide range of extracurricular workshops in arts, music, acting, and sports
- Experienced teachers certified in the Waldorf methodology
- High participation in national exams with notable results
The school also provides performance, merit, study, and social scholarships, reinforcing its commitment to equity and support for all students.
The infrastructure includes:
- A modern computer lab
