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. In-person meetings with every new family are required. These meetings establish mutual understanding of admission expectations and programme structure. When possible, a 'taster' day is offered, during which interviews, entry assessments and a tour of the facilities take place. The school operates open enrolment and welcomes students who can rise to the challenge.
2. Entry points are the first and third years. The two-year structure of IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme means other entries are discussed and evaluated on an individual basis, always with the student's best interest in mind. Both the IGCSE and IB DP are two-year programs.
3. The 2026/27 VIA Application Form is used to apply for Year 10 (International GCSE) or Year 12 (IB Diploma Programme). The form collects details such as child's name, date of birth, address, nationality, languages spoken at home, and entry programme. It asks for previous schooling experience, hobbies and interests, medical conditions, learning support needs, and any special considerations. Supporting documents include ID page of the passport and the two most recent school reports; there is also space for other documents.
4. For inquiries and applications, contact VIA Vector International Academy at Štula 23, 1000 Ljubljana. These channels handle admission inquiries and application submissions.
