On 1st September, history was made as Koper International School – the first British international school in Istria – officially opened its doors. We were proud to welcome 22 students to our secondary school and 13 students to our primary school. Despite being a small school of only 35 students 12 nationalities are presented, with over ⅔ of our school being international!
Our first day was full of excitement as students met their teachers, explored their classrooms, and began settling into their new routines. A special highlight was welcoming our youngest learners into Year 1 – check out the first day photos of Year 1 below and take a glimpse inside their brand-new classroom.

At Koper International School, students follow the British curriculum, delivered by native-speaking teachers, leading to world-class qualifications such as IGCSEs and A-Levels. These are internationally recognised and open pathways to universities worldwide. You can read more about our qualifications here.
