About Us
A Bulgarian home in the desert.
Bulgarche is a Saturday Bulgarian language school in Phoenix, Arizona — founded to preserve our mother tongue and heritage for the next generation of Bulgarian-Americans in Arizona.
Our school is sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria. Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for the bi-lingual certification tests for officially recognized diplomas in Bulgaria.
Classes meet at the Irish Cultural Center & McClelland Library in central Phoenix — a warm, welcoming space we fill with Bulgarian songs, laughter, and learning every Saturday.
