About international schools in Montenegro
International schools in Montenegro form a small but growing sector concentrated in the capital Podgorica and in coastal towns such as Tivat, Kotor and Budva, serving both expatriate families and local parents seeking English-medium options. You will typically find British (Cambridge/IGCSE/A-level) and International Baccalaureate programmes alongside a handful of US-style or blended international/national tracks, and most international schools also teach Montenegrin or other local languages alongside English. Annual tuition varies widely across the market - from a few thousand euros at smaller or newer schools up to around EUR 25,000 - 27,000 at some larger international campuses - and additional charges (enrolment, transport, meals, activity fees and boarding where offered) are common. Schools generally follow a September-start academic year and run a mix of rolling and fixed admissions with assessments or interviews for older pupils, so families usually begin enquiries several months before arrival.

Curricula
There are 15 international schools in Montenegro covering 17 curricula. The most widely offered are Bespoke Curriculum (6), American Curriculum (5), Cambridge IGCSE (4), IPC (International Primary Curriculum) (4), IB (PYP) (3). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Montenegro we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
