The Journey to School
The Journey to School: Anglo American School of Sofia
May 28, 2017
The journey to work is indeed an important one. The journey though is not so clear for international school teachers when they are looking for jobs at schools in cities/countries to which they have never been. So let’s share what we know!
One of our members, who works at the Anglo American School of Sofia (Bulgaria), described her way to work there as follows:
The road to Anglo American School of Sofia…
Some teachers drive to work. It is not that far from the center of the city. The school is location in a more residential, countryside area. These pictures of from a spring day with lots of sun!
The best part of the school’s location is of course the amazing view of the nearby mountains. The school grounds are also pretty to look at and walk around in as they are well-landscaped. In the spring a number of the plants are flowering.
Walking towards the school’s main entrance.
There are huge sports fields for students to play in.
There is a sense of community as you walk around the campus. There is even an outdoor amphitheater. This day the school was using it during their Bulgarian cultural week.
Here is the road leading out of the school campus.
Here is that same road looking back towards the school.
You do need to pass through some security. Even taxis are not allowed through when you get visitors. This day I was actually leaving via an arranged taxi going to the airport. It was very cheap and quick. I think I was there in 15-20 minutes that day.
