Belgrade, Serbia · Private
Illustration · Belgrade
The school works in Belgrade, in two buildings on Užička street: number 43 houses the nursery and the lower primary grades, number 58A the upper primary grades and the Lower Secondary stage. It takes children from one to fourteen years of age and divides the way into four stages: the nursery, early years and foundation, the primary school and Lower Secondary. The school speaks of itself as a small international school and, in its own words, the oldest international primary school in Serbia; in the message of the principal Elena Kirby it is called International Primary School, Belgrade. It calls itself an accredited Cambridge International school, and in the state list of verified private basic schools of Serbia it is recorded as International Primary School with the National Curriculum of England for grades I-VI and Key Stage 3 for grades VII-IX. Lessons are in English: the whole site is written in English, including the stage pages and the calendar, the state list names an English programme, and Serbian the school offers separately, as an additional class for those for whom it is not the mother tongue. The school describes its approach as learning through themes and projects, with an emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, social and emotional development and small classes; for contact with families it uses the ClassDojo app with translation of messages into 35 or more languages. After lessons there are paid activities: English in groups, individual mathematics, Serbian for non-native speakers, speech therapy, guitar, piano, dance, football, gymnastics, yoga for little ones and an art studio. On top of teaching the school offers meals, transport from home to school and back and childcare after lessons. The school does not publish its tuition fees or the prices of its services.

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.

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.
