Fier, Albania · Private
Illustration · Fier
Non-public educational institutions in Fier that operate as a full-day school: a kindergarten, a 9-year school and a gymnasium following the Albanian state curriculum from Grade 1 to Grade 12. The school calls itself the first digital school in Albania: every classroom has an interactive whiteboard, a computer and a projector. Gymnasium students choose a track by interest, receive free help to fill gaps and prepare for the state Matura, and get careers advice. The school lists its olympiad successes: 2 medals at world olympiads, 22 appearances at international olympiads, 6 gold medals, 24 national olympiad awards and 94 places of honour at district level, mainly in mathematics and the natural sciences. Attached to the school are an arts conservatory, opened on 4 February 2008 as a branch of the Hellenic Conservatory, with music and dance departments for all ages from 4, and a foreign language and computer centre created in September 2000. That centre runs courses in English, German, Italian and French, computer courses and Matura preparation, and says it is accredited for TOEFL, Cambridge English First (FCE), CAE and CPE, IC3 and ECDL. Lessons are in Albanian under the state curriculum, and all the school's pages are written in Albanian. The school does not specify which foreign languages are part of its own curriculum. The school also runs distance lessons for Grades 1-12, used, it says, by about 800 students; this is support, not schooling leading to a certificate.

Admissions The school promises equal chances to all students and particular attention to girls and boys returning from emigration, so that they quickly master their native language and culture. The school does not describe admission conditions, documents or entrance tests on its website, and does not write about foreign children.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
