Școala Gimnazială Herăstrău is a public primary and middle school located in Bucharest’s affluent Sector 1, not far from the park that shares its name. It’s a school that doesn’t seek the spotlight but quietly builds a reputation for academic rigor and a well-rounded student experience.

The school serves both primary and lower secondary cycles and is known for attracting families who value educational consistency and structure. Classrooms are modern and well-maintained, and the campus includes science and IT labs, a sports hall, and a courtyard that supports outdoor activities.

One particular strength is the school’s emphasis on sports and extracurriculars—fencing, for example, is not just an afterthought but part of the school culture. The teaching staff is largely stable, and the institution is seen as a safe bet for parents looking for academic discipline without the chaotic competition found in elite colleges.

In 2024, the average admission grade for 5th grade was around 9.50 (out of 10), placing it in the upper bracket of public schools in the city—competitive, but not inaccessible.
