About international schools in Novi Sad, Serbia

Novi Sad’s international-school scene is compact but varied: the city has a government-funded gymnasium running the International Baccalaureate Diploma for the final two years of secondary school alongside a small number of private schools that offer Cambridge or American-style programmes. English is the main language of instruction in international tracks, but many schools run bilingual Serbian - English streams and offer other modern languages as options. Private international schools in Serbia typically charge several thousand euros a year, while the state IB department is funded by the Ministry of Education and does not charge tuition. Admissions timing differs by type - state IB places are taken for the last two years after an entrance exam, whereas private schools admit from early primary and usually require advance registration - so relocating families should check language requirements, transport and the exact application deadlines for each school.

FAQs for Serbia

What international curricula can my child study in Novi Sad?
Families in Novi Sad can find the IB Diploma Programme offered inside a state gymnasium for the final two years of secondary school, and private schools that describe Cambridge (IGCSE and A-Level) and American/AP pathways for younger and older pupils. Offerings are limited compared with Belgrade, so check each school’s published curriculum and which years or grades it covers before applying.
How much does international schooling cost in Novi Sad?
Private international schools in Serbia commonly charge several thousand euros per year, with published guides and expatriate resources suggesting a broad range of roughly EUR 4,000 to EUR 10,000+ depending on grade level and school. By contrast, the IB Diploma stream that operates inside the public Gimnazija Jovan Jovanović Zmaj is government-funded and does not levy tuition for enrolled students.
When should we apply and what does the admissions rhythm look like?
Admissions depend on the type of provision: the state IB department enrols students into the final two years after an entrance examination (the school publishes details and runs free preparatory sessions), while private schools typically take applications for primary years well in advance and may operate rolling or termly intakes. Always confirm each school’s application deadlines, required documents and whether there are entrance tests or language assessments.
What ages and secondary stages are covered by international options here?
In Novi Sad, Cambridge-style schools report provision from early primary up to IGCSE and A-Level years, and American/AP programmes are described for the upper secondary grades, whereas the IB is available locally only as the two-year Diploma Programme for students aged roughly 16 - 19. If you need an IB Primary Years or Middle Years Programme, those are not commonly available outside Belgrade, so consider transport or schools in the capital if that pathway is important.
Is instruction in English and what support exists for children who don’t speak Serbian?
Many international tracks use English as the primary language of instruction and offer Serbian (and other languages) as additional subjects, and some private schools run explicitly bilingual Serbian - English streams. However, the state IB department still requires Serbian language study as part of its Diploma offer and is designed for students who can manage Serbian literature and school life in Serbia, so families with little or no Serbian should check language requirements and available English-language support before enrolling.
