What would you say is the most important when choosing a Spanish school?

This is the quality of support and work of the management, the opportunity to study at IB, the prestige of the school and the percentage of successful completion of the diploma stage of IB, recommendations for further universities. It is worth considering the national "recruitment" of campus students, opportunities for extracurricular development and activities, the availability of medical services and consultations, opportunities for language immersion. Is education at the chosen school based on the values you share? Is the school a close-knit community? Is academic support good?

Private schools offer not only a high level of academic preparation, but also the comprehensive development of the child and personality - creative, athletic, spiritual and moral. The school campuses are equipped according to the best international standards - there is everything you need for sports, physical activity and creativity. Montenegro is famous for its beautiful and environmentally friendly nature: annually about 1.2 million tourists visit the country from various countries. All conditions for outdoor activities, beach holidays, hiking and trips are created. Students can enjoy not only courses, but also extra-curricular activities.
