The school accepts children over the age of 4 in its preschool group and students from Grade 1 to 12, who wish to enrich their knowledge of the Bulgarian language, learn more about the centuries-old history and authentic folklore of Bulgaria and develop new talents in art.

The school is on the list of Bulgarian Schools Abroad and has been approved by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. It follows the Sunday Schools Abroad official curriculum while using modern innovative and interactive teaching methods. The students, who have completed the course of studies in Bulgarian language and literature, History and Civilization and Geography and Economics in its parts relating to Bulgarian History
