The Bulgarian educational center in Augsburg, bearing the name of the national hero Hristo Botev, officially entered the digital space by creating its own Instagram profile. The institution announced the news through its Facebook page, inviting all interested parties to follow the account @bgschulehristobotev.
The school offers an innovative learning model, combining in-person and distance learning forms of education. Its educational structure covers a wide age range - from preschool groups to 12th grade, with a focus on preserving Bulgarian national identity among young people abroad.
The curriculum includes in-depth study of Bulgarian language, literature, history, and geography. In parallel with the core disciplines, students have the opportunity to develop their creative talents through additional modules in folk dances, fine arts, music, and patriotic education.
The institution has an interesting creation history. The idea for its formation emerged in 2014 with the key goal of building an educational and cultural center for the Bulgarian community in the German city of Augsburg. The official establishment of the association "Bulgarian School 'Hristo Botev'" took place on February 21, 2015, and the first public appearance was just a week later - on February 28.
An important milestone in the school's development is its official recognition by the Ministry of Education and Science in Bulgaria through inclusion in the List of Bulgarian Sunday Schools Abroad. Classes are held every Saturday, in accordance with the regional educational schedule of schools in Bavaria.
An additional attractive element is the opportunity for parents to also participate in extracurricular activities, including folk dances, general physical training, drawing, and applied arts.
