In the spring of 1857 she returned to Stara Zagora and in September opened a school for girls at the church of St. Dimityr. Later, in 1863 she opened an all girls' school in Stara Zagora and attracted more women as teachers there. In 1881 - on the recommendation of Joakim Gruev she took over the management of the newly opened All Girls' High School in Stara Zagora. For ten years, until 1892, when she was sent into retirement, Anastasia Tosheva turned the high school into one of the best in the new Bulgaria. It had the reputation as one one of the best-arranged all-girls' schools and attracted students from distant places. It prepared the highest percentage of teachers for all girls' schools in Bulgaria.
