VM Finance Group continues to strengthen its commitment to the education sector through the strategic acquisition of Discover International School, a private Montessori school in Sofia. The school is an innovative educational institution accredited to deliver the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, spanning early childhood education through Grade 12, while successfully integrating the principles of Montessori pedagogy into its educational framework.
The acquisition further expands the Group’s portfolio in the education sector and reflects VM Finance Group’s long-term strategy of supporting innovative, sustainable, and future-focused educational models that contribute to the development of the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
“Investing in Discover International School is a natural extension of our commitment to supporting future generations. We believe that modern education should combine academic excellence with a child-centred approach, fostering critical thinking, inquiry, creativity, and personalised support. Schools should provide an environment where every child can realise their full potential, extending well beyond academic achievement alone,” said Alexandra Mircheva, Chief Executive Officer of VM Finance Group
Through the acquisition of Discover International School, VM Finance Group builds on its longstanding involvement in child development and education, contributing to the creation of a coherent and internationally recognised educational pathway that supports learners from early childhood through secondary education.
Discover International School offers a unique educational model that aligns with the requirements of the International Baccalaureate (IB), the international Montessori standards of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), and the Bulgarian national curriculum regulated by the Ministry of Education and Science. Upon graduation, students receive both an internationally recognised IB Diploma and a Bulgarian secondary education diploma, equipping them with the academic credentials and competencies needed to succeed in a global environment.
The investment underscores VM Finance Group’s vision of fostering high-quality educational institutions that combine academic rigour, innovation, and a holistic approach to learning, preparing students for the opportunities and challenges of an increasingly interconnected world.
