Private Hight School "Democratic Education Varna" is a Ministry of Education licensed school with over 80 students, from preparatory group to 12th grade, and a team of nearly 30 teachers.

For 8 years, we have been creating an educational environment where children learn through choice, hands-on practice, and personal motivation.

​

Imagine a school where children do not just study, but explore the world and discover their own potential, guided by genuine curiosity.

In our school, they can experiment, create projects inspired by their own ideas, and actively participate in the decisions that affect them – including shaping and changing the school rules.

Here, there are no bells and no traditional homework. There is time for deep learning, for play, for movement, for creativity, and for meaningful social interaction.

 

We believe that learning cannot happen out of obligation. It is a natural process that unfolds when a child has freedom, purpose, support, and real responsibility for their choices. Learning is an experience that happens in many different ways at every moment of the school day. Children do not just learn about life – they live it.

Our community grows and evolves, united by a desire for more meaningful and human-centered education. We build on over 100 years of democratic education practice, inspired by Alexander Neill and the initiatives of Yaacov Hecht in developing free school communities around the world.

 

Not every school teaches children to simply follow instructions – some support them in taking responsibility for their own path.

 

As the co-founders of the school and parents ourselves, we chose to create a different kind of school for our children and for all those who seek an education that respects personal choice.
