Project Inspiration
Our school is a second home for our children. In fact, they often spend more time here than they do at home.
And what does one expect to find at home? Warmth, comfort, safety, peace, and inspiration. That’s exactly what we set out to create!
We said goodbye to dark colors and gloomy hallways, to outdated furniture and rigid, traditional school environments. In their place, we brought in a whole new palette of moods, sensations, and inspiration.
We’ve created a space where students feel comfortable every day. We truly believe that this is how both children and teachers gain more confidence in their abilities, feel proud of their achievements, and stay motivated in everything they do.
Now we all have a reason to say every single day: “I love my school!”
Project Description
Small building (Primary Stage):
“A Forest Tale”
Once upon a time, there was a small, dark school building nestled at the foot of Mount Vitosha, surrounded by towering pine trees and the shade of old walnut trees. From the outside, it looked inviting—perhaps even a little mysterious—but inside, the mood was somber.
The forest’s shadows cast a gloom over the space, and the students didn’t feel happy. There was a heaviness in the air, and everyone seemed a bit sad, tired, and discouraged.
But one day, the Spirit of Light came to the forest. It entered the little building and, as if with a magic wand, began painting the walls. One became green, another ocean blue, then orange, yellow… And not just with color—magical murals appeared!
There were forest creatures, enchanted trolls, endless oceans, princes, princesses, and giant books hiding the deepest secrets. In an instant, the building was transformed—warm, sunlit, and filled with kindness.
And when the students returned the next day, can you guess what happened? They gasped in wonder! They entered with shining faces and couldn’t believe the magic around them. They explored each room, ran through the hallways, laughed, and imagined themselves as characters in a forest fairy tale. And the most wonderful part? They didn’t want to leave. Because in that space – they felt at home. There, they could be themselves.
There, they found joy, light, and inspiration. There, they were writing their own “Forest Tale”.

Classrooms
Children and Flowers
Creating special corners with flower “cleaners” and herbs in the classroom in the school. The aim is to enrich the air with oxygen and healing aromas. For our children to be healthy and have a quick mind, it is necessary to have clean air in the classroom, saturated with oxygen and fresh fragrances.
Plant a tree – restore the balance in nature
Trees play an important role in preserving life on earth. The more trees and forests there are – the smaller the percentage of global warming, because they extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce the greenhouse effect. Their roots significantly reduce the risk of flooding by improving the absorption of rainwater.
For every child in our kindergarten – we plant a tree!
