History

EuroEd Foundation came into being in 1992 with the support of the British Council Romania and the Soros Foundation. EuroEd Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation located in Iasi, Romania. Until 1995 our name was International House and our focus was on delivering language courses. In 1995 we became the International Language Centre and enriched our portfolio by setting up the Kindergarten (1995) and the Primary School (1997). As a result of constantly expanding services and addressability, two more departments were created in 1998: the Regional Centre for Education and Communication and the Centre for European Integration.

Since 2000 our name has been EuroEd Foundation, a symbol of our holistic approach to education.
