Genesis College Primary School is known as one of the best private primary schools in Bucharest, recognised for its academic results, safe environment and child-centred approach.
Genesis Tower – a Modern Campus for the Primary School
From the 2025-2026 school year, Genesis College Primary students learn in the most modern and best equipped learning space in Bucharest – Genesis Tower.
Located in the North of the capital city, in Sector 1, the new headquarters of Genesis College is designed around the students and their needs, providing a complete and balanced educational environment.
Genesis Tower has modern laboratories and state-of-the-art technological facilities designed to stimulate curiosity and learning through discovery. At the same time, it emphasises safety and comfort through large, bright areas designed for relaxation, play, sports activities and school events.
Genesis College Primary School – Romanian and PYP Curriculum
Genesis College Primary School is accredited in accordance with all Romanian educational requirements and standards and is complemented by the international Primary Years Programme (PYP), provided by the International Baccalaureate® (IB) organisation.
PYP proposes a cross-disciplinary, balanced curriculum based on exploration and connections between areas, supporting the development of critical thinking and conceptual understanding of students.
Internationally Trained Teachers and Tailored Learning
The entire Genesis College teaching team is dedicated to preparing students for a globalised and competitive world. Combining elements of the Romanian curriculum with those of the international PYP programme gives our students a complex worldview and develops skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking.
Moreover, the Genesis approach is not only about transmitting knowledge, but also supporting the personal development of students, cultivating confidence, independence and understanding of the world we live in.
The Genesis College teachers are dedicated to the mission of forming successful future adults – responsible, empathetic and attentive to the needs of those around, creating a safe and supportive environment.
Primary Years Programme (PYP) at Primary School
From the 2025-2026 school year, Genesis College Primary students operate in the most modern and best equipped learning space in Bucharest – Genesis Tower.
What is PYP and How It Supports Students’ Growth
Primary Years Programme (PYP), offered by the International Baccalaureate® organisation, provides our students with an attractive learning environment, based on working in groups or pairs, on experiential activities, in order to help them become active people, involved in social life, who demonstrate critical thinking, empathy and respect for themselves and others.
PYP promotes conceptual learning and aims to develop in children up to 11 years of age the skills of communication, research, thinking, analysis and organisation, skills that will be useful to them later in life.
Conceptual Learning and the IB Learner Profile
The PYP programme is very flexible, as it can be easily adapted to the Romanian education system, which enriches it with a transdisciplinary approach to the proposed topics, through conceptual learning and by pursuing a student profile – the IB learner profile, which students strive to achieve during primary school, but also beyond.
The Six PYP Study Themes at the Primary School
The contents provided in the Romanian curriculum are integrated into the six PYP themes and approached from a cross-disciplinary perspective.
We emphasise learning through discovery, individual or group research, starting from the idea that students will understand and retain more easily and in the long run what they learn or discover for themselves.
By studying this theme, students manage to get to know each other, to develop harmonious relationships with family members, with their friends, but also with the members of the community in which they live. The study of this theme encourages and guides students in knowing themselves, the values to guide them during their becoming as people.
Through this theme, students take a journey into the history of mankind, while understanding the connection between individuals and society, between local and global perspectives. The theme encourages students to learn as much as possible about types of homes, trips and expeditions, explorers and the migrations of humanity.
This theme invites students to discover and appreciate aesthetics. In order to develop healthy and harmonious relationships with those around them, it is important that our students learn how to express their ideas, feelings and emotions. At the same time, it is necessary not only to look for and find ways to develop and use their creativity, but also to appreciate the beauty around them in all its forms.
By studying this topic, students understand not only the scientific principles and the way people use them, but also the impact of technological advances on society and the environment. This theme is a journey into nature and its laws, a journey that helps children understand vast concepts such as the biological environment and human societies and how they work.
Through this theme, students understand the structure and function of organisations that exist in the society, their economic activities and their impact on humanity and the environment. Children thus understand the structure and role of each organisation, the way financial, economic and tax decisions are made; who has the right to make high-level decisions, but especially what decisions each has the right to make.
It is important to be aware that each individual has rights and obligations, but especially what they are. By studying this topic, children will learn all these things and apply them in the long run. It is becoming increasingly necessary for students to know what rights and responsibilities they have in terms of protecting the environment.
The PYP curriculum encourages learning beyond the classroom, which shapes students’ skills and competencies in an emotionally, physically and intellectually balanced way.
Why PYP Is Ideal for the Primary School Students
According to the IBO organisation, there are 10 reasons why the PYP programme is ideal for the primary school students:
Student Assessment at the Genesis College Primary School
In addition to assessments within the Romanian curriculum, the final project of the PYP and of the end of the 4th grade is the Final Exhibition. It marks the transition to another programme, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and at the same time the transition to Middle School.
Assessment at Genesis College Primary School
The progress of each student is monitored through a variety of modern and relevant methods:
- Assessments aligned to the Romanian curriculum, which ensure thorough preparation for national evaluations;
- Continuous observations and personalised feedback, to support individual progress;
- PYP cross-disciplinary projects – Unit of Inquiry Projects, through which students apply knowledge in real contexts;
- Student-Led Conferences, where students present their evolution (educational portfolio) and learning objectives, together with their parents;
- English language assessments, aligned with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) descriptors and oriented towards preparation for Cambridge exams.
Final Exhibition – the PYP Graduation Project
The Final Exhibition is a group project, a thorough research of a topic of personal interest, through which the 4th grade students will demonstrate the skills they have acquired during the primary school years and the full completion of the international PYP programme, part of the International Baccalaureate® (IB).
This interdisciplinary project has a strong social side, as students identify, investigate, and provide solutions to real-life problems, combining areas of study of the primary level:
- Foreign Languages
- Social Sciences
- Mathematics
- Science
- Physical Education & Sports

Technology in the Educational Process at Primary School
We believe that integrating technology into daily learning practices is a way to become strategically and curricularly relevant.
We chose to integrate technology into learning to adapt to a constantly changing world, to open new doors and opportunities for our students.
Digital Learning and Google Workspace
Genesis College has been using the Google Workspace platform for years to diversify learning and help students develop digital skills that are both necessary for the world today and in the future.
All the Genesis College students own a personal Chromebook, which they use in their daily activities at school, starting with the preparatory grade.
At Genesis College, we encourage our students to develop continuously, to have the courage to express their own opinions, to have initiative, to become responsible citizens by engaging in community-supported activities that go beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Thus, we motivate them to get involved in the community they belong to, to be empathetic and responsible towards those around them.
