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.

What matters at this age
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.
Registration fee waived for families who apply early.
That's €800 you won't pay. And tuition already includes:
- Fruit snack and a hot lunch cooked at school
- Uniform and sports kit
