Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Embarking. The first step begins with an invitation to explore EDUCA. Families connect with the Admissions team to learn about the vibrant community and curriculum, and to have questions answered to imagine possibilities for their child. The Admissions team supports families as they consider fit and next steps. 2. Orientation. If interest is confirmed, the child attends an orientation session or may spend a day with EDUCA to experience the community. The team sensitively assesses the child's academic abilities, learning styles and talents, and helps the family envision the child's place within EDUCA. 3. Arrange a meeting. The family schedules a meeting with the Admissions team to discuss aspirations, needs and how EDUCA can support the child's growth. This conversation begins to shape an educational path tailored to the child. 4. Interview with your child. The Admissions team conducts an interview with the child to understand interests, strengths and fit with EDUCA's approach. If useful, a day of hands-on exploration at EDUCA can be arranged. 5. Trial day for full immersion. A trial day provides full immersion in the EDUCA environment, allowing the child and school to observe daily interactions and engagement. This experience informs enrollment decisions. 6. Confirm your child's wish. Families indicate their decision to enroll, confirming mutual readiness to proceed. This step leads to formal enrollment preparations. 7. Secure a place for your child. After acceptance, families sign the enrolment agreement and submit a 10% enrolment deposit, which is applied toward tuition fees. The deposit marks the start of the student's EDUCA journey. Application checklist includes: child's passport (scan); child's birth certificate (scan); child's portrait photo; child's previous school reports (original and English translation, if applicable); parent's ID or passport (scan).
EDUCA International School is Belgrade's Finnish international kindergarten and primary school, operated as a non-profit by the Education for Serbia Foundation. The campus in Dedinje sits in a peaceful, green setting, with light-filled classrooms opening onto a playground and outdoor spaces that include sensory gardens and natural play areas. The school follows a Finnish curriculum alongside a bespoke international pathway for ages 3 to 14, blending the Finnish whole-child approach with internationally recognised standards. Kindergartners (3-7) engage in play-based learning that develops communication, early numeracy and literacy, physical and social-emotional growth, and understanding of the world. Juniors (7-11) study English (First & Second Language), Mathematics & Science, Humanities & Arts, Digital Literacy & Computing, and Sports & Movement. Seniors (11-14) gain deeper subject expertise, independent research skills, and practical application, preparing for Upper Secondary. Unique features include forest classrooms, nature-connected learning, and a strong emphasis on wellbeing across every age.
