Compass School Budva Campus delivers the Chinese National Curriculum and, at the Budva site, combines two education systems: a traditional classroom program aligned with FGOS (Russian Federal State Educational Standards) and an individualized learning route. Classes are small, with 10–12 students per class, and there is a strong emphasis on intensive English study with five lessons per week, ongoing assessments, and support from a psychologist and a speech therapist. The school day is organized into three blocks: Academic (3–4 lessons per day), Development (music, creativity, psychologist-led sessions, theatre, and a reading room), and Free Time (board games, socializing, and outdoor activities). The curriculum includes activities such as chess, robotics, drawing, cooking, and theatre, plus regular excursions around Montenegro and integrated foreign-language study.

Tuition — annual and per-instalment
- Annual tuition for the full-day standard programme (school day 09:00–15:20) is EUR 4,900 per pupil.
- The school's stated billing arrangement divides tuition into nine equal instalments. Based on the stated annual fee, this equals nine equal payments of EUR 544.44 each (EUR 4,900 ÷ 9 = EUR 544.44). The EUR 544.44 figure is a calculation from the published annual fee and the school's stated nine-part payment division.
- The published fee is presented as the cost for the full educational programme rather than as a differentiated schedule by year group; no separate per-year-group tuition amounts are published. Therefore the single annual rate of EUR 4,900 applies to the school's standard full-day programme.

Tuition broken down by term / term-equivalent

There are nine equal instalments of EUR 544.44 each across the billing cycle (see calculation above). No separate ‘per term' (e.g., autumn/spring/summer) fee table by year group is published.
