The Council of Ministers approved the implementation of the project. Initially there were classes in German , English and Russian in classes of 20 students each. Russian was compulsory for students learning English or German . Admission to the grammar school required an entrance examination in mathematics and literature . 98% of the first high school graduates were accepted into colleges and universities outside Bulgaria .
Until 1972 the grammar school was located in the building of the Jungfrauenschule. In 1972 it finally moved to the building, which is still occupied today, near a war memorial. Since then, 4 classes in the English and 4 classes in the German direction have been accepted annually. Russian as the first foreign language of choice was dropped.
