Școala Gimnazială Nr. 5, located on Calea Victoriei, is one of those Bucharest schools that quietly balances tradition and innovation — and does it well. It offers both primary and middle school education, with a focus on strong academics and creative development.

In 2024, the school's 8th graders achieved an average score of 7.76 at the National Evaluation, with 8.10 in Romanian and 7.42 in Math — solid numbers that speak to a well-rounded preparation.

Facilities here are up to date: classrooms are equipped with interactive boards and projectors, and students have access to labs for IT, biology, physics, and chemistry. The school also has a sports hall, a library, and even its own student radio station — a rare bonus that adds a real-world learning touch.

The curriculum includes both traditional and “Step by Step” programs in the primary years, and at the middle school level, students can enroll in standard or intensive English tracks. Optional activities are varied and thoughtful: from theatre, chess, and educational robotics to math clubs and personal development workshops.
