About international schools in Bosnia And Herzegovina
International schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina are relatively few and concentrated in larger cities - Sarajevo is the main hub, with additional bilingual or international campuses in places such as Banja Luka, Tuzla and Mostar. Parents will commonly find British/Cambridge programmes and British-style private schools, an American-style option offered by QSI (with AP courses), and a smaller presence of IB and other international or bilingual pathways; many schools also combine an international syllabus with locally required subjects for accreditation. Instruction is usually delivered in English while Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (and sometimes German, French or Turkish) are taught or integrated so students meet national-language requirements; schools typically offer additional language support for non-native speakers. Published tuition varies widely and is not always public - recent public information ranges from mid-thousands of US dollars or euros to higher figures reported for some international campuses (for example a QSI fact sheet listed K - 12 tuition around USD 25,000 for 2023 - 24); most schools follow the September - June academic year and have their main intake in September, so begin enquiries several months before you plan to move.

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Bosnia And Herzegovina we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
