This is a unique opportunity for dedicated and passionate teachers who love being in the classroom and working with children, but also those who wish to join us in developing an innovative and exciting centre of learning: BIST is on its way to becoming one of the leading schools in Romania. 

The British International School of Timisoara is the first school with a British International curriculum to be established in the western part of Romania.

BIST opened in September 2019 for students in Reception to Year 9, and it has already developed waiting lists in several year groups. The school will grow gradually by implementing the Cambridge IGCSE programme at KS4 and we aim to offer the International Baccalaureate curriculum at KS5. The school has successfully completed its first COBIS inspection and has become the first COBIS school in the western part of Romania.

Located in the northern part of Timisoara, the campus can accommodate up to 800 students and is expected to reach its full capacity by 2024. The school benefits from a generous space of over 10 000 square metres with extended green areas and outdoor facilities.
