Education Abroad with “Meridian 22”
Founded in 1990 by Engr. Radka Stamenova, Meridian 22 Ltd. has become a well-established name not only in Bulgarian education but also as a representative for Bulgaria of leading colleges and universities from abroad, including in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Greece, the United States, Canada, and more.
25 years ago, Engr. Radka Stamenova signed an exclusive representation agreement with Saint Andrew’s College in Cambridge, UK, with its owner Mr. Mervyn Martin. Established in 1976, Saint Andrew’s College was the first independent private institution offering secondary education leading to an English high school diploma.
Thanks to the long-standing and successful partnership between Meridian 22 and Saint Andrew’s College, many of our students, after completing 7th grade, continue their studies at the college and receive an English high school diploma. Additionally, groups of students, accompanied by English teachers, participate in the Select English summer language courses offered by Saint Andrew’s College.
A key factor in the success of Meridian 22’s intensive English language programme – spanning from preschool to 12th grade – is the two-week summer language immersion trips to the United Kingdom, which we organise each year.
The Select English summer courses have since become a separate entity, and Meridian 22 continues to maintain a close collaboration with them.
For summer 2025, Meridian 22 School is once again offering summer courses in Culford, Cambridge from 6th to 19th July for junior high school students (up to 14 years old) and in Cambridge Juniors from 13th to 26th July for high school students (aged 14 to 18).
Culford is a magnificent 2,000-acre estate that houses one of the most prestigious private schools in England. Surrounded by lush greenery, the estate offers extensive sports fields, playgrounds, academic buildings, separate boarding houses for boys and girls, a library, a cafeteria, a dining hall, and a restaurant where students enjoy their meals.
The school's location, at a safe distance from the nearest town, ensures a secure and protected environment for children.
English lessons—primarily delivered through interactive activities—are conducted by experienced teachers. Students learn in small groups of up to 12, with two teachers per class, in comfortable and well-equipped classrooms.
In Culford, our students take part in a variety of exciting activities each day after their English lessons, including arts and crafts, sports, outdoor games, cooking and baking, discos, and more. On weekends, they go on trips to thrilling destinations such as London, Norwich, and Bury St Edmunds, where they visit famous landmarks, try local and international cuisine, and enjoy shopping in major retail centres.
For secondary school students, we organise a summer school at Cambridge Juniors. As a globally renowned academic hub, Cambridge—alongside Oxford—remains one of the most sought-after destinations for ambitious young people. A two-week stay in Cambridge leaves students with a newfound confidence, thanks to their improved language skills and exposure to diverse cultural experiences.
Exploring Cambridge’s 31 historic colleges, the oldest of which dates back to 1208, immersing themselves in centuries-old traditions, and experiencing the city’s vibrant multicultural atmosphere—shaped by students from around the world—make for truly unforgettable memories.
Last but not least, our students become part of an international community where language barriers simply disappear. It takes only a few days to form lasting friendships with children from across the globe—friendships that often last a lifetime.
