Founder's welcome

Dear reader,

Welcome to our educational institution, a crossover between national and international education; a place where students and cultures interweave through corridors and learn to learn.

Since 1995, we have successfully been operating our first Croatian Primary School named ‘Kreativan razvoj’, a private educational institution that has been operating for twenty three years now. Thereafter, in autumn 2013, we opened the British International School of Zagreb - the first English school in Croatia offering a UK based educational curriculum.

Since then, progress has been vast and exceptional. Over the last five years our international school has received numerous accreditations and rewards (COBIS, CAIE, Cambridge Strategies and Innovation 800, IPC, and ISO to name a few), thus making BISZ one of the leading pioneer schools not only domestically but at the international level.

Our latest project and innovation is the opening of an on-campus ‘Boarding School’ starting from autumn 2019. The new residence is to cater for the needs of our international students as they can reside at school, making their learning experience and memories even more memorable.

Starting school is an important step in your child’s education and life, therefore emphasis is placed on the right choice. We believe in educating the whole child where academic progress, social values, personal development and thinking skills will help your child develop into a responsible global citizen, guided by our school’s values of honesty, independence, tolerance and respect for others.

BISZ has unique modern, purpose built facilities of (9,000m2 of indoor and 25,000m2 of outdoor space), offering outstanding academic and sporting experiences. The location of the school is placed in a wonderful valley just 5km outside of Zagreb`s city centre.

As the founder of the British International School of Zagreb, I welcome you to visit our international school and see for yourself the values of gaining a UK based National Curriculum, to experience the difference our BISZ education programme can make in the life of young students, thus helping prepare your child for the valued challenges and opportunities that life brings.

I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Martin-Tino Časl, Ph.D.

British International School of Zagreb - THE COMMONWEALTH AT 75
The Commonwealth celebrates its 75th year in an era almost as fractious as that in which it was born 75 years ago. At that time, 1949, the London Declaration established the modern Commonwealth and lit a flame of fraternity and hope for a world seeking to move on from the horror of global war and conflict. Its 56 members span the five continents and three oceans, number more than a quarter of the world’s countries and comprise more than a third of humanity, with 70% of them younger than 30 years. The launch of the Commonwealth at 75 book was held on 9th October in the Cloisters of the Westminster Abbey. It has been researched and written by a select team of academics and award-winning authors and was presented by Lord Norton, History of Parliament Chair, together with a Royal bibliographer and Commonwealth Secretary-General. The links between Westminster and the Commonwealth have their origins in British imperial rule and this book charts how many Commonwealth countries adopted and adapted aspects of the Westminster model to suit their own political cultures. The book explores the development of parliamentary democracy across the Commonwealth, and it is a complex story which reveals divergence as well as commonality. The importance of education and the exchange of ideas have always been fundamental principles of the modern Commonwealth. It is also home to some of the finest education providers and experts in the world. We are very proud that our British International School of Zagreb was invited and presented on 2 pages in a chapter dedicated to Education and Culture. Among many well known universities and schools presented in the book there are only two outside the UK and the Commonwealth. Our BISZ is one of them. Our Principal, Martin-Tino Časl and Mrs. Zdenka Časl his loving and supporting wife were among the distinguished guests. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, it was a nice opportunity to meet with old friends from previous occasions and make new friends for the future. You can also get a feeling of the atmosphere by browsing through the following photos.
