The International School of Bucharest (ISB) was founded in 1996 in a rented building with just 17 students, aiming to meet the needs of the English-speaking community. Within a few years, the school expanded in both size and scope. To better serve a growing international community, the curriculum began to incorporate practices and requirements from various educational systems.

As an independent day school, ISB is dedicated to inspiring excellence with purpose. In 2001, the school became Romania's first CIE Exam Centre, allowing it to conduct IGCSE examinations. This significant step, along with the introduction of IGCSE and AS/A Level programs, further enhanced the multicultural environment for both teachers and students.

Despite the separation of the Primary School to a different campus in 2003, ISB saw rapid growth, with enrollment reaching approximately 350 students by 2004. This growth prompted the school to seek larger premises, leading to the opening of a purpose-built campus in 2008, located in a green area of eastern Bucharest. Since then, ISB has provided a state-of-the-art learning environment with on-site sports facilities, a conference hall, and a cafeteria.

ISB has been fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) since August 2012. Additionally, the school became an IB World School authorized to offer the Diploma Programme starting in September 2017. Thanks to the support of an exceptionally close-knit community, the future of ISB looks promising and exciting.
