Worldschooling Bansko 2023

The complex

Worldschooling Bansko 2023 will take place in our community complex. This is where all the Worldschooling Bansko families will be staying, and where all the activities will be held. The complex has 4 apartment buildings which we will be filling up for a large part. We have the availability of a number of community spaces that allows us to assign every age group their own* space for activities, coworking, social gatherings, and hang outs. The gated complex has an outside play area for the kids to enjoy. There is also a spa area which can occasionally be used by our group at an extra cost. The complex is surrounded by nature, 500 meters from the city centre, and 1.5km away from the gondola (transport for skiing is available).

Update: There are currently no options in the complex for the first month. There is only one option available for the second and third month. Fast booking is needed.

*Other residents of the complex remain able to use the facilities at the parent and teen spaces.

All apartments have full kitchens, allowing you to cook your own meals. Most apartments have washing machines, there are also shared washing machines in the building. The apartments have full bathrooms, some come with a bathtub. Every apartment has Wi-Fi. We tested 19.3 download, 7.6 upload, and 11 ping.

Keep in mind that availability for certain types of apartments is limited and essentials can lead to a place on the waiting list.
