Mona Musat, managing partner at Musat & Asociatii, has opened the Romanian private school Aletheea on 7,000 sqm in north Bucharest. The two-level building has outdoor basketball courts and football pitches, a 500 sqm indoor sports hall and small gardens outside the ground floor classrooms where pupils can study. “We believe that Romanian children should be able to learn outdoors, a concept that has started to become more popular worldwide,” explained director Daniela Stoicescu.

The school, which can accommodate almost 320 students, currently offers classes from preparatory grade to sixth grade for an intake of approximately 40 students. Fees will be EUR 550 per month, but are currently discounted to EUR 500 per month. The national curriculum will be used, and pupils have options such as creative writing, oral history, counseling and orientation, visual arts in Romanian fairytales, fashion design, human rights, environmental protection, informatics, national minorities, yoga for children and intensive foreign languages. Clubs include theater in English, puppet theater, stage acting, volunteering and civic involvement, quilling, animation, photography, origami, mathematics, chess, financial education, and also a selection of artistic and sporting activities.

The school day begins at 8.30 with half an hour of discussion about the day ahead. The national curriculum is then taught until 12.30, when lunch is served in the 80-seat cafeteria. Lessons resume at 13.30 and continue until 17.00, but pupils can stay even longer for clubs or special programs.

“I started this project in 2011 with the belief shared by every parent: to offer his/her child the best, from education to the independence that a good environment can provide. This was followed by the idea of having a different business, which most lawyers do. But none has a project like this,” said Musat. She told BR that interest in education runs in the family, as she has close relatives who are or were teachers.
