What matters at this age

Primary students working together at KSI Montenegro

Strong reading, writing and maths

Solid foundations in literacy and numeracy, taught in English.

Progress is checked, not guessed. Children take MAP tests in maths and English three times a year, so any gap shows up early and gets worked on.

Learning by asking why

Children explore real-world themes and connect maths, language, science and the arts.

Learning runs in units of inquiry of about six weeks, each built around a real question, with an assessment at the end of every unit.

  • A programme recognised worldwide

    The IB PYP is taught in IB World Schools across the globe, so learning carries over wherever life takes your family.

  • Fluent, confident English

    Children become comfortable speaking, reading and presenting in English.

  • Character, not just grades

    The IB Learner Profile builds kindness, open-mindedness, responsibility and good communication.

  • Their own big project

    In their final PYP year, students lead the PYP Exhibition and present it to the school community.

How you'll know they're progressing

Six big themes
Each year children explore six themes that connect subjects to real life, so they see why what they learn matters.
Clear checkpoints
MAP tests in maths and English three times a year show growth over time and flag needs early.
Feedback after every unit
Each unit ends with an assessment that records your child's progress, with a close eye on maths and literacy.
A longer day if you want it
Most after-school activities, from sport to the arts, run from 14:30 to 15:30 and are included in the fees.

Not speaking English yet? That's normal here.

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.

We assess your child's English when they join, so the right level of support is in place from the first day.

Questions parents ask

What if my child needs extra support or more challenge?

New students are assessed when they join. If a child needs extra support or extension, we tell you and put the right plan in place.

Is KSI Montenegro recognised in Montenegro?

Yes. The school is licensed by the Ministry of Education for preschool, primary and secondary education, and was the first private school in Montenegro licensed to offer an international education. It is also accredited by CIS and authorised by the IB.

Is lunch included?

Yes. Children get a fruit snack and a hot lunch at 12:00, prepared at school and included in the fees. Allergies and special diets are arranged with you.

Do students wear a uniform?

Yes, every day. The uniform and sports kit are provided by the school as part of the annual fees.

Can my child start during the school year?

Yes. Registrations are accepted all year, and tuition is prorated from the start date.

Come and see the school

The best way to decide is to walk the classrooms and meet the people who will teach your child. We arrange the visit around your time.
