At Koper International School, we believe that education should reflect the world we live in - diverse, interconnected, multilingual and full of opportunities. We are located in the heart of Istria, our school is proud to welcome students from Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, and beyond, creating a rich, multilingual, and inclusive environment where young minds can flourish and thrive.

Language is at the heart of our approach. While English serves as the common language of instruction, we deeply value the local culture and heritage, which is why Slovene and Italian are an integral part of our curriculum. From their earliest years, students are immersed in a truly international setting while also developing strong language skills in both Slovene and Italian, with 5 lessons a week in each language, ensuring they remain connected to the region's history, culture, and future opportunities. In secondary school this decreases to 3 lessons a week, but students pick up a fourth language, also to be studied 3 times a week (French, German, or Spanish) and also have the chance to study Russian or/and Chinese after school.

Academically, we are committed to providing a world-class education that opens doors for our students. By following the British curriculum, we offer IGCSE and International A-Level qualifications, internationally recognized and respected by top universities around the world from Harvard and Yale to Oxford to locally in Ljubljana and Trieste. Whether our students choose to continue their studies in Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, or beyond, they graduate with a strong academic foundation and the confidence to pursue their dreams.

We are more than just a school, we are a small community where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our small class sizes or max 16 students in primary and secondary (and only 12 for A-level)  allow for personalized learning, ensuring that each student is given the attention they need to thrive and succeed in whichever path they take. By bringing together children from different cultures and backgrounds, we foster lifelong friendships, mutual respect, and a global mindset.

At Koper International School, we are more than just an educational institution - we are a place where young minds come together, languages are celebrated, and futures are built. If you are looking for a nurturing, international environment that combines academic excellence with cultural richness, we invite you to become part of our school family. Click here to apply.
