British International School of Zagreb - First British High School in Croatia

Since 2014, our British High School nurtures traditional values with a top quality education where we offer a high level of academic support with individually, paired and group tailored classes to cater for the prioritization of student well-being. This approach also seeks specific didactic strategies that enable the optimal individualization of learning. When studying in such an educational environment students are able to develop and fulfill their world of endless possibilities.
Our High School classrooms have an average of up to 15 students which allows greater fulfillment of the developmental and cognitive needs of each individual student, taking into consideration that our teacher to student ratio is 1 to 6. For over 10 years now, the Secondary school is a part of the Cambridge International Education (CIE) and works as the British International School of Zagreb (BISZ), which is an official Cambridge International School. The curriculum is entirely taught in the English language and follows the British Curriculum of the CIE.
The first two years of our High School programme is the world famous IGCSE whilst the final two years of the programme is the astounding A – levels (also referred to as Sixth form).
When taking into account the needs of each individual student, the professors, together with parents, seek to ensure the participation of students in the fields of humanities, languages, sports and scientific activities which enable that our graduates consistently gain admission to top world universities.

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.
