Alenka Rajčić is the founder of Koper International School and started with opening her own language school and organising academic exchanges to England. In 2022 she decided to open an international secondary school offering the British curriculum with IGCSE and A-Levels. After two years of planning and recruiting teachers, with final approval from the ministry of education her dream came true. We opened our doors to students from around the world in September 2025. The school shares roots with Nista Language Centre, the oldest language school in Koper, founded by the same founder, Alenka Rajčić.
Koper International School is the only British international school in Istria. All subjects (except languages) are taught in English, with Slovene and Italian taught in line with local schools to support integration. The school emphasizes language learning and multilingualism, aiming for students to reach at least B2/C1 in two additional languages. It hosts a thriving international community with a range of News and Events, including a Winter Trip to Forni di Sopra, a Trip to Barcelona, an Erasmus Exchange to Heidelberg, and a Whole School Christmas Concert.
Koper International School offers a K–12 British international education in Slovenia, delivering the British National Curriculum with Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge A Levels alongside Pearson Edexcel IGCSE. The school serves learners from ages 5 to 18 and teaches predominantly in English, with Slovene and Italian as compulsory languages and an additional modern foreign language to foster fluency in four European languages before university. Class sizes are small, with a maximum of 16 students and typical groups of 10–12, enabling personalised support and active problem solving. The curriculum blends British standards with international elements and uses a cross-curricular approach to develop critical thinking, communication, and lifelong learning. The school is accredited as a K–12 British International School in Slovenia and operates as an approved Pearson Edexcel centre. Facilities include a library with over 1,000 English-language titles, morning care from 7:00, and after-school care with swimming, plus boarding or homestay options.
