About international schools in Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade’s international schools form a compact market dominated by English-medium programmes (International Baccalaureate and British/Cambridge pathways are common) alongside a small number of German-language and Serbian-national bilingual tracks. Families can expect English to be the day-to-day teaching language with Serbian taught as a subject or offered as a parallel national programme, and schools commonly provide English as an Additional Language and mother-tongue support. Tuition is generally lower than in many Western European capitals - early years places often start in the mid-thousands of euros a year, primary and lower-secondary places sit in a mid range, and Diploma/A-level years can reach into the tens of thousands - and fees are usually supplemented by registration/capital charges, transport, lunches and external exam costs. Admissions are a mixture of rolling intake and fixed-window testing depending on the school; many accept mid-year starters but will require assessments, proof of prior schooling and health/vaccination records.

FAQs for Serbia

Which curricula will my child typically find in Belgrade’s international schools?
You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP) and British/Cambridge programmes (IGCSE and A-level), with a smaller number offering American-style or dual Serbian-national tracks and at least one German-language school. Some schools run the Serbian national curriculum alongside an international programme, which can be helpful if your family plans to stay in Serbia long term.
How much should I budget for fees and what extras are likely?
Annual tuition varies by school and age: early years places commonly begin around EUR 5,000 - 10,000, primary and lower-secondary places tend to sit in a mid range, and IB Diploma or A-level years can rise towards the high-teens or low-twenties of thousands of euros. On top of tuition expect one-off registration or capital fees, bus transport, daily lunches, uniforms or devices, and the cost of external examination entries.
When should we apply and what documents do schools ask for?
Many international schools in Belgrade operate rolling admissions and accept mid-year entries, but some programmes (and language-conditioned schools) use set testing windows or aptitude assessments in spring; families should check each school’s calendar and allow several weeks for testing and placement. Typical documents include a completed application form, recent school reports or transcripts, passport/ID, birth certificate, proof of residence or visa status, immunisation/health records and any educational support reports.
Will my child learn Serbian at an English-medium international school?
Most English-medium international schools teach Serbian either as a language subject or offer a parallel Serbian national pathway; however, daily conversational Serbian is acquired fastest in a Serbian-medium setting and children at English-medium schools may reach only classroom-level competence unless they get additional exposure. Schools commonly provide Serbian language classes and some offer mother-tongue or language-acquisition support for non-native speakers.
What should I look for when comparing schools in Belgrade?
Check accreditation and authorisations (for example IB authorisation or recognised British/Cambridge status), the school’s approach to English as an Additional Language and special educational needs support, transparency about exam and university destinations, and practical services such as transport and lunch provision. Visit schools where possible, review recent inspection or accreditation reports, and ask about class sizes, staff turnover and pastoral care to judge day-to-day fit for your child.
