History

The Private Primary School AC-Arcus Junior began its journey in 2024, welcoming its first students in the primary education stage. This new school is a natural extension of the constant efforts of the Board of Trustees, management, and teaching staff of the American College Arcus® to offer higher quality and distinctive education. Over two decades later, we are now laying the foundation not only for a new educational chapter for our team but also for the children of Veliko Tarnovo and all of Bulgaria. We provide a better educational alternative expressed through a unique custom-designed curriculum. This program combines traditional approaches with innovative methodologies used worldwide, such as the Waldorf pedagogy of Dr. Rudolf Steiner and the Suggestopedia method of Prof. Georgi Lozanov.

The American College Arcus® was established in 2003, initially offering a secondary education teaching students from grades 8 through 12, and later expanding to include elementary education (5th to 7th grade). The college was founded with a belief in the principles of philanthropy, individual freedom, multiculturalism, and that these values are the only path to a better future. With our new initiative, in the form of AC-Arcus Junior, we aim not only to continue in the same direction but also to forge a new, more conscious path in education that meets the needs of today’s children.
