International schools may help to create a familiar environment for children of expatriate families, but they also promote cross-cultural learning and provide a diverse environment. Typically, international schools function as private schools in that they require an admission application and tuition.
International Baccalaureate (IB)
The IB program is offered by several private schools in Zagreb. It is taught under the supervision of the International Baccalaureate Organization. All students study languages, social science, experimental science, mathematics and arts.
The IB is divided into three programs determined by age:
- Primary Years Program (PYP) ages 3-12
- Middle Years Program (MYP) ages 11-16
