About international schools in Slovenia
International schools in Slovenia are a small, concentrated sector - most campuses are in and around Ljubljana - with a mix of British, International Baccalaureate (IB) and American-style programmes offered alongside a few state schools that run an IB diploma option. English is the dominant language of instruction at international schools, while Slovenian and other modern languages are usually taught as additional languages or through local-language classes. Annual tuition for private international schools in Ljubljana typically sits in the low five-figure euro range, with published guides in recent years putting typical fees roughly between €9,000 and €17,500 depending on age and school; parents should also budget for registration fees, deposits and extra-curricular or transport charges. Admissions generally follow the Slovenian school year (term starts in September) but many international schools operate rolling admissions, require an application plus records and an English check, and issue contracts with a deposit to secure places, so early enquiries are recommended.

Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Slovenia run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead.

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Slovenia 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.
