What matters at this age

Young children learning together at KSI Montenegro

Caring teachers help each child settle in at their own pace.

Young children learning together at KSI Montenegro

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.

Most of our students are bilingual or multilingual. KSI Montenegro is the only accredited BML SMART School in Montenegro: every teacher is trained to teach children who learn in more than one language.
