The first IB World School in Montenegro
- IB World School: PYP, MYP and Diploma
- Accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS)
- Accredited BML SMART School
- Licensed by the Montenegrin Ministry of Education
What matters at this age
Learning through play
Stories, music, play and exploration build language, early reading and numbers.
Early Years follow the IB Primary Years Programme from age 3, so play is planned: early reading and numbers are woven into themes the children explore together.
English, the natural way
Children hear and use English every day, at the age languages come most easily.
Confidence and first friendships
They learn to share, take turns, express feelings and make friends from many countries.
Parents as partners
Teachers and families work together so every child feels supported at school and at home.
One school from Nursery to Diploma
A smooth move into Year 1 and a clear path all the way to the IB Diploma.
