Overview

- The school does not publish a full, itemised public fee schedule broken down by year group and term for the 2026/27 academic year; available public listings instead report a standard annual day-student tuition range.

Application and registration fees

- No definitive, publicly available single-figure application or one‑time registration fee is published for 2026/27 or 2025/26; a detailed one-off application/enrolment fee amount could not be located in publicly accessible materials.

Tuition fees (per year / per term)

- Published, itemised tuition amounts by individual year group or per term are not available from the school in publicly accessible material for 2026/27 (or 2025/26).
- Public listings that summarise the school's tuition report an annual day-student tuition range of approximately EUR 5,000 to EUR 10,900. This range represents annual tuition for day students rather than a term-by-term or year‑group breakdown.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- A specific billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, term dates for invoicing, deadlines, late‑payment penalties) and formal payment terms are not published in the school's publicly available materials for 2026/27. No authoritative public statement of whether fees are charged per term, per semester, or annually could be located.

Boarding fees

- The school operates as a day school and does not publish boarding provision or boarding fees; publicly available records list weekly and full boarding as not applicable (zero). Boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs and typical additional charges

- Transport and meal charges are reported by public listings as separate additional costs in local summaries: examples listed include transport at around EUR 8 per day and food at around EUR 4 per day in the available public summary. These amounts are presented as typical ancillary daily charges in third‑party listings rather than an official school itemised fee schedule.
- No authoritative, itemised public listing for compulsory uniform costs, activity fees, exam fees, deposits, or capital/development levies for 2026/27 was found in the school's publicly available materials.

Refunds, deposits and withdrawal terms

- No publicly available, detailed refund policy, deposit amounts, or formal withdrawal notice periods for the 2026/27 academic year were located in the school's publicly accessible materials. Specifics on refundable or non‑refundable deposits and refund percentages are therefore not available in public sources.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)

- A definitive list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, standing order, online payment portal) for 2026/27 is not published in the school's publicly accessible materials. No public confirmation of which payment channels are accepted could be located.

Summary statement about available figures

- A publicly accessible, detailed fee schedule by year group and term for 2026/27 (or for 2025/26) is not published. The only concrete numeric guidance found in public listings is an annual day‑student tuition range of approximately EUR 5,000 to EUR 10,900; boarding is not applicable. Ancillary daily charges for transport and meals are reported in some third‑party summaries. For all other requested line‑items (per‑year and per‑term tuition by year group, explicit application fee amount, formal billing schedule, refund percentages and formal payment method list), no authoritative public figures were located in materials available for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years.

In secondary, Cambridge schemes of work are used in core subjects at Key Stage 3, with other subjects blending the English National Curriculum with additional material. At Key Stage 4, pupils study nine IGCSEs, timetabled as four 40‑minute lessons per subject; at Key Stage 5, pupils may take up to four A levels. The curriculum design rests on six core principles: knowledge and vocabulary richness, sequencing and coherence, flexibility, evidence‑based practice, accessibility and diversity, with a strong PSHEE component. Enrichment and extension are provided through curricular and cross‑curricular activities, educational visits and residential trips.

Exam Results

IGCSE and A Level results show high attainment. Pupils are successful in securing places at selective universities nationally and internationally. Regular assessments monitor progress and attainment across the curriculum.

Higher Education Progression

Careers education is well established and is actively integrated with form tutors and subject teachers. Careers advice emphasises goal‑setting and employability skills. Pupils are well supported in the university application process for institutions in Serbia, the UK and a wide range of international destinations.

Gifted and Talented

Differentiation of the curriculum for more able learners is provided. The school differentiates the curriculum in and outside lessons to challenge these pupils. Enrichment and extension are provided through a programme of curricular and cross‑curricular activities, including visits and residential trips.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Education at BIS for students aged three to eighteen is based on the British curriculum and programme, and on the development of all aspects of the student's intellectual, social, emotional, physical and spiritual identity. BIS aims to develop internationally minded, independent, confident and creative learners who will be able to contribute positively to future society.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school has identified 32 pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Jelena Ilić Milenković serves as the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). The SENCo coordinates SEND support, and staff receive safeguarding and SEN-related training to support those students.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English is the language of instruction at BIS (except the Modern Foreign Languages programme). Students with English as an Additional Language (EAL) are supported in school; where outside tutoring is not feasible, BIS provides additional EAL support for those identified.

The school has a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and two Assistant Designated Safeguarding Leads (ADSLs), supported by safeguarding officers to ensure coverage. The safeguarding team undergoes regular training and staff training on safeguarding and online safety, including ongoing two-year refreshers and advanced certifications. The policy aligns with UK guidance and local Serbian procedures and includes clear roles, responsibilities and reporting pathways. The DSL prepares termly and annual safeguarding reports, and contact details for safeguarding are published for staff, students and families.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Emotional wellbeing is central to EDUCA's approach to learning. The school recognises that meaningful learning flourishes when it springs from within, moving beyond traditional reward systems to nurture curiosity and mastery. Teachers craft learning environments where personal interests connect to academic concepts, supporting intrinsic motivation and autonomy. The approach emphasises whole-child development, with wellbeing forming the bedrock for lifelong learning. A growth mindset is cultivated through celebrating effort, resilience and learning from mistakes, while brain-friendly methods combine emotion and cognition with regular movement and nature-connected learning.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

EDUCA recognises neurodiversity and celebrates it. The Cleo AI mentor supports learning by personalising strategies to students' neurodivergent profiles, ensuring that every learner has a learning companion who truly sees them. The school's approach emphasises inclusive pedagogy and personalised supports to help neurodivergent learners participate fully in the curriculum.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English language support is embedded in everyday activities and is delivered through immersion, interaction and authentic communication. Language development occurs through daily routines, play scenarios and social interactions rather than formal ESL lessons, with teachers using visual cues and contextual learning to aid understanding. Practitioners help children build vocabulary and confidence in expressing themselves in a pressure-free, joyful atmosphere.

Mental Wellbeing

Emotional wellbeing is a central pillar of EDUCA's education. Each student's journey is considered unique, and happiness is prioritised alongside academic achievement. The school fosters a safe, nurturing environment where students feel seen, valued and secure, enabling confident exploration and learning. The approach supports intrinsic motivation, social-emotional development and a growth mindset, helping students manage challenges with resilience.

Admissions

1. Embarking. The first step begins with an invitation to explore EDUCA. Families connect with the Admissions team to learn about the vibrant community and curriculum, and to have questions answered to imagine possibilities for their child. The Admissions team supports families as they consider fit and next steps. 2. Orientation. If interest is confirmed, the child attends an orientation session or may spend a day with EDUCA to experience the community. The team sensitively assesses the child's academic abilities, learning styles and talents, and helps the family envision the child's place within EDUCA. 3. Arrange a meeting. The family schedules a meeting with the Admissions team to discuss aspirations, needs and how EDUCA can support the child's growth. This conversation begins to shape an educational path tailored to the child. 4. Interview with your child. The Admissions team conducts an interview with the child to understand interests, strengths and fit with EDUCA's approach. If useful, a day of hands-on exploration at EDUCA can be arranged. 5. Trial day for full immersion. A trial day provides full immersion in the EDUCA environment, allowing the child and school to observe daily interactions and engagement. This experience informs enrollment decisions. 6. Confirm your child's wish. Families indicate their decision to enroll, confirming mutual readiness to proceed. This step leads to formal enrollment preparations. 7. Secure a place for your child. After acceptance, families sign the enrolment agreement and submit a 10% enrolment deposit, which is applied toward tuition fees. The deposit marks the start of the student's EDUCA journey. Application checklist includes: child's passport (scan); child's birth certificate (scan); child's portrait photo; child's previous school reports (original and English translation, if applicable); parent's ID or passport (scan).

Admissions

1. Book an educational consultation, either in person or online. The admissions team will tell you about London Gates Belgrade, answer questions you may have, and conduct an English test to help decide which group is right for your child. The consultation provides an initial sense of fit with the school's programs. This step lays the groundwork for the next steps in enrollment.

2. If the child is 7 years old and does not speak any English, there is a special first-grade group with slightly more intensive teaching. Group placement is customized through personal communication with each child to support language development. This ensures appropriate support as the child begins to learn English.

3. All new students take a placement test. The results of the language level test and the interview help select the best group for the new student. A-level groups are formed from September to November, as an exception to the standard placement process.

4. A one-month trial period is offered. At the end of the trial period, we meet to discuss the child's learning trajectory. You can join any group at any time. Holidays follow traditional Russian school holidays in quarters.

5. The school follows the Cambridge Primary Curriculum for Years 1-6. Grades 0–2 are bilingual, with half of the week in English and half in Russian; Grades 3–4 follow a fully English-medium curriculum, with Russian language and literature taught in Russian. Science and Humanities are taught in English, and Art and Drama are included as creative subjects. At the end of each academic year, students perform a major performance in English.
