The First 15 Years of Teach for Bulgaria
15 years of stories proving that every student can succeed.

OUR CAUSE

We believe that every child in Bulgaria should have access to high-quality education — regardless of where they live, which school they attend, or their family’s financial situation. We work toward this goal by supporting teachers, developing school teams, and building partnerships to introduce proven good practices into the education system.

A New Way to Teaching program

A New Way to Teaching is the first program launched by Teach for Bulgaria in 2010. The next application cycle opens on January 5, 2026.

The program supports early-career teachers in achieving a high standard of teaching while developing strong leadership skills. Participants receive hands-on training, mentoring support, and access to a community of professionals who share a deep belief in the potential of every child.

To date, more than 550 participants have completed the program.
80% of them remain long-term contributors to the education system.

Model Schools Program

The Model Schools program is the only initiative in Bulgaria that provides structured training and long-term support to whole school teams, aiming at a comprehensive transformation of both school leadership and teaching practices — with the student at the center of the learning process.

Through high-quality training and ongoing support, schools build sustainable leadership structures, while teachers adopt modern approaches to teaching, assessment, and classroom organization.
