Dear parents,

We understand that the process of recognizing a private school in Romania can seem complex. We would like to inform you about the steps Knowledge Tree follows to ensure official recognition of our students’ studies.

Knowledge Tree’s status and legal steps:

  1. Internationally recognized curriculum: We opted for the Cambridge curriculum because of its well-defined structure and international recognition. The Cambridge exam is also recognized in Romania, offering our students educational opportunities both nationally and internationally.
  2. Authorization and accreditation process: in accordance with

    Law on pre-university education no. 198/2023
    , any private educational establishment must go through the following stages:

    • Provisional operating authorization: This allows the school to operate and enroll students.
    • Accreditation: After a period of operation and meeting quality standards, the school can obtain accreditation, which gives the right to issue diplomas recognized by the Romanian state.
  3. Currently, Knowledge Tree has submitted the necessary files and is in the process of being evaluated for provisional operating authorization.
  4. Recognition of studies: until the accreditation process is finalized, our students take Cambridge international exams, the results of which are recognized by universities in Romania and abroad. However, it is important to note that according to current legislation, graduates of international schools can be considered international students by Romanian universities. We are committed to keeping you informed of any legislative changes that may affect this issue.

Our commitment:

We are committed to providing high quality education and ensuring official recognition of our students’ studies in Romania. The process of authorization and accreditation is complex and subject to strict regulations, but we strive to meet the legal requirements and facilitate our students’ transition to higher education, either at home or abroad.

We thank you for your trust and assure you that we will continue to keep you transparently informed about our progress.

Best regards,
Knowledge Tree team
