164 GPIE "Miguel de Cervantes" and the American College of Sofia are considered to be the best high schools in Bulgaria. The students of the two schools almost always take the first two places, with very small differences, in the Bulgarian matriculations, with results higher than 5,60 which is considered an "A+++" in Bulgaria, and almost always they are the only schools, whose average results are "A++++"s. The differences are small, mostly in the range 1е-20.
Name
The school's name comes from the famous Miguel de Cervantes, a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright, also the author of Don Quixote, born on 9 October 1547, in Alcalá de Henares.
Cultural activities
The school has an active tradition of student theatre productions. In 1994, students staged ''La guarda cuidadosa'' and ''El viejo celoso'' by Miguel de Cervantes and "El testamento del tio Nacho" by Francesc Eiximenis and Angels Garriga. This was made possible with help from the Spanish Embassy, Theater 199, and the Spanish Section of the Capital City Library. Direction by Haydee Gloria Reynoso Gonzalez Boneva & Julia Dimitrova.
