For families seeking a school that combines experience, stability, and excellence, the British International School of Ljubljana (BISL) stands out as Slovenia’s most established international school. With the longest tradition of international education in the country, we have built a reputation for quality and trust that continues to attract families from around the world.
A Legacy of Excellence
Since its founding, BISL has been committed to delivering high-quality education rooted in the British curriculum. Our long-standing expertise ensures that students benefit from a consistent, academically ambitious programme that prepares them for success at leading universities worldwide.
This strong foundation was established in September 2008 by Jeremy P. Hibbins, who founded the school with a vision to provide an alternative system of education for both the expatriate community and Slovenians seeking a quality international education for their children. Starting with just 22 students across six classes, Jeremy’s dedication to education and community building laid the groundwork for what has become Slovenia’s most established and trusted international school. His legacy continues to inspire BISL’s enduring commitment to excellence, respect, responsibility, integrity, and compassion.
