\tOxbridge application specialists<\/strong> No other school in Romania offers this combination of academic programs and global connections under one umbrella.<\/p>\n Successful university applicants need more than good grades. Admissions committees look for:<\/p>\n \tintellectual curiosity These traits are cultivated early at Verita through inquiry-based learning (IEYC, IPC, IMYC), a strong SEL foundation with Emory University, and the IB\u2019s extended research and interdisciplinary approach.<\/p>\n \u201cTop universities want students who can think deeply, ask the right questions, and drive their own learning,\u201d says Richard Joannides, Founder of Verita. \u201cOur entire model is designed around developing those exact qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n Year after year, Verita graduates gain admission to leading universities in Europe, the United States, and beyond. Students pursue programs in:<\/p>\n \tengineering The goal is not only to secure admission but also to guide each student toward an academic path that matches their strengths, values, and aspirations.<\/p>\n Graduating cohorts at Verita include students now studying at KU Leuven, an elite research university with a strong global reputation, and at Politecnico di Milano, one of Europe\u2019s leading technical universities, renowned for engineering, architecture and design. Both institutions are highly selective and academically rigorous, and these destinations reflect the graduates\u2019 strong preparation and readiness for university-level study.<\/p>\n In addition, a graduate from a more recent cohort is currently studying at NABA \u2013 Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, a well-regarded institution known for its focus on creative disciplines such as design, fashion and visual arts. This pathway highlights the breadth of post-secondary options pursued by graduates, aligned with their individual strengths and interests.<\/p>\n Looking ahead to the 2026 cohort, these outcomes continue to demonstrate the role of the IB Diploma Programme in preparing students for diverse pathways. Through its emphasis on critical thinking, independent research, sustained projects and reflective practice, the IB DP equips students with the skills needed to thrive both at highly selective research universities and at specialised, practice-based institutions.<\/p>\n Through the Dukes Education family, Verita students gain direct access to an exceptional range of university and career guidance resources. They work with Oxbridge application specialists who have successfully guided hundreds of students into Oxford and Cambridge, offering expert insight into the academic expectations and interview processes of these world-leading institutions. Students also benefit from the support of Ivy League counselors and essay coaches who are trained in US university admissions and provide detailed guidance on personal statements, supplemental essays, and interview preparation.<\/p>\n In addition, Verita learners can participate in summer schools at Oxford, Cambridge, and Eton, where they experience academic immersion, hands-on research, and early exposure to top-tier university environments. Their development is further enriched through international competitions, Model UN conferences, sports leagues, and arts festivals, all of which strengthen university portfolios and personal statements.<\/p>\n Career guidance and internship pathways connect students with emerging industries, established businesses, and global mentors, helping them explore future opportunities with clarity and confidence. No other school in Romania offers this unique combination of academic programs and global connections within a single educational network.<\/p>\n In an increasingly global world, Verita offers Romanian and international families something rare: a highly personalized academic experience combined with access to one of Europe\u2019s most powerful education networks.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want every student to graduate with real choices about their future,\u201d says Joannides. \u201cWhether they dream of Oxford, MIT, or a top European university, we want to make sure to give them the guidance and preparation to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n Families are invited to explore Verita\u2019s academic programs and meet the admissions and university guidance team.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffc\u00a0Book an online meeting<\/a> with the School’s Director *This is partner content<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As global competition for university places continues to rise, families are increasingly seeking schools that not only deliver strong academics but also provide the networks, counselling, and preparation needed for the world\u2019s most selective universities.
