They have a high record of both national and international achievements and we are happy to have one of them in Cuia too. Private schools are playing a significant role in our country’s economy and education alike. They are raising the next generation of Romanians.” Dan Bumbu, a parent, said, “I find the school’s education methods and quality very efficient and gratifying.”
