Academics

Curriculum

The Cambridge International Curriculum underpins the academic programme. The school offers five phases: Cambridge Early Years (3-5 Years), Cambridge Primary (5-11 Years), Cambridge Secondary I (11-14 Years), Cambridge Secondary II (14-16 Years) including IGCSE Qualifications, and Cambridge Advanced (16-18 Years) including International A Level Qualifications. The Cambridge Curriculum provides a consistent throughline from early years to pre-university study, and the school will introduce Cambridge Advanced once accreditation is achieved. Montenegrin requirements are addressed with English as the language of instruction; Montenegrin language study is available to national and international pupils, and where there is divergence between the Cambridge Curriculum and the national curriculum, it is remedied in subject planning. In its opening years, the school will operate in phases i-iv and Cambridge Advanced will be introduced upon accreditation.

Higher Education Progression

The International A Level programme prepares pupils for university study either in Montenegro or abroad.

Gifted and Talented
