Stages

From ages 3.5 onward, the school provides kindergarten and primary schooling, plus clubs, laboratories, theatre and summer camps. English is the language of instruction. It is a Pearson Edexcel Approved International Centre and a Cambridge Exams centre (Young Learners English, KET, PET, FCE).

Type

Private international centre offering a British educational program.

Country affiliation

United Kingdom (British educational program)

School day structure

The school day runs from 9:00 to 16:30. No homework is assigned.

Application fee

- No public, fixed application or registration fee is published by the school; an online application form exists but it does not display a published application fee amount.

Tuition fees (per term / per year group)

- The school does not publish a full, itemised tuition schedule by year group or by term. No definitive per-term or per-year fee table is available publicly.

- Independent listings and local guides cite typical monthly ranges seen for Dukley Academy: approximately EUR 350 per month (reported for the Russian/distance program or lower-cost options) up to about EUR 850 per month (reported for the international/British programme). These figures have been reported as monthly amounts and are presented by third-party local school listings and guides; they are indicative ranges rather than an official per-year or per-term schedule. Use these ranges only as general guidance where an exact school-issued schedule is not available.

- Where third-party listings report monthly fees, translate to typical academic billing periods as follows (example conversions from the reported monthly range):
- If billed monthly: EUR 350–EUR 850 per month.
- If billed on a 10-month school billing cycle (some local schools use 10 months): approximate annual range EUR 3,500–EUR 8,500 (derived from the monthly figures). These are estimates based on monthly ranges and not an official annual schedule.

Boarding / residential fees (if applicable)

- Boarding or full‑board residential options have been referenced in some local listings. One local listing reports a boarding fee figure in the region of EUR 1,950 per month for boarding students; other listings do not publish a consistent boarding schedule. These boarding figures are from third‑party listings and not from a published school fee schedule. Confirm boarding availability, exact cost, what is included (meals, supervision, laundry, excursions) and any age/grade limits before making arrangements.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- No publicly available, definitive billing schedule (for example: termly vs. yearly invoices, deposit amounts, due dates, late‑payment penalties) is published by the school. The school's online materials and application form do not include a detailed payment timetable or the conditions of payment that would normally specify term dates and due dates.

Other costs and fees

- Uniforms, textbooks, examination fees (Cambridge / Edexcel exam entry fees), extra‑curricular activities, field trips, transport, meal plans, supply fees and capital levies are commonly charged by independent schools in the region; however, Dukley Academy does not publish a comprehensive list of these additional charges publicly. Third‑party sources note that exam and activity fees may be charged separately. Expect separate charges for:
- School uniform and kit
- Examination entry fees (Cambridge / Pearson / external exams)
- Extra‑curricular clubs and trips
- Learning materials and workbooks
- Transport or shuttle services (if provided)
- Any special one‑off capital or enrolment levies

Exact line‑item amounts are not publicly listed.

Refund information

- No publicly available refund policy, tuition‑refund schedule or formal statement of refund conditions is published. No published terms on refundable or non‑refundable deposits, pro‑rata refunds for mid‑term withdrawals, or conditions under which fees are returned are available in the school's public materials. Expect the school to have formal terms in its enrolment agreement; those terms were not posted as a public fee schedule.

Fee payment options

- The school does not publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods (for example: which credit cards are accepted, whether online card payment is available, or bank details for transfers). No public statement of accepted payment channels is presented on the published pages. Contact details are provided for direct enquiry about accepted methods and to obtain bank/invoice details.

How to obtain an exact, up‑to‑date fee schedule

- The school provides an application form and direct contact details (telephone and email) for admissions enquiries. Because the school does not publish a full fee schedule by year group or term, request the official fee schedule, billing calendar, boarding rates (if required) and payment terms directly from admissions so you receive the definitive figures and the written fee terms used for the 2026/27 (or, if the 2026/27 schedule is not yet published, the 2025/26) academic year. The school lists: phone +382 69 170 011 and email academy@dukleyacademy.me for admissions and fee enquiries.

Summary of findings and gaps

- The school does not publish a detailed, itemised fee schedule by year group, term or payment method in its publicly accessible pages. Third‑party local guides and school listing services report indicative monthly tuition ranges (roughly EUR 350–EUR 850 per month) and, in at least one listing, a boarding figure around EUR 1,950 per month; these third‑party figures are indicative only and are not an authoritative published fee table from the school. For precise per‑term, per‑year, boarding, deposit, refund and accepted‑payment details for the 2026/27 academic year (or the 2025/26 year if 2026/27 is not yet published), request the official fee schedule and payment terms directly from the school using the provided contact details.

Curriculum

Adriatic Open School offers Primary (Grades 1–5), Middle (Grades 6–8), and High School (Grades 9–12) programs. Primary is a bilingual IPC-based program with a First Language track (Ukrainian, Russian, or German). Middle School uses CLIL, teaching selected subjects in English with a strong first-language focus; the program comprises 30 thematic units built around a Big Idea. High School is a four-year bilingual program combining the US High School Diploma with a Russian-language track; for students who do not speak Russian, the program is delivered entirely in English. Each class is supported by a team of seven teachers, plus a neuropsychologist and a speech therapist when needed. Students study core English-language track subjects (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Studies) and choose English electives, alongside a Russian-language track that supports the American program, with additional languages available. The learning formats include fully in-person or blended formats, with synchronous lessons from American teachers for online learners.
