At the British International School of Ljubljana (BISL), preparing students for success at leading universities across the globe is at the heart of our mission. Through a balanced and academically ambitious education, we nurture not only academic excellence but also the personal qualities and global outlook that prestigious institutions seek.
Academic Excellence and Recognized Qualifications
BISL follows the internationally respected Cambridge International Curriculum, culminating in IGCSEs and A Levels. These qualifications are recognized and highly valued by universities worldwide, providing students with a strong academic foundation and demonstrating their ability to meet rigorous standards. Our experienced teachers challenge learners to think critically, solve problems, and apply their knowledge across disciplines—skills that ensure they stand out in competitive application processes.
Developing Independence and Resilience
Success at university requires more than subject knowledge. At BISL, we foster independence, resilience, and self-motivation from an early stage. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, manage their time effectively, and develop strong study habits. By the time they graduate, they are confident young adults ready to meet the challenges of higher education.
The teachers at BISL really push us to think independently and believe in ourselves. I feel confident that the skills I’m building here will help me succeed at university and beyond.

Preparing for the Next Step
In addition to academics, BISL provides comprehensive university and career guidance. From preparing personal statements and practicing interview skills to exploring future pathways, our dedicated staff support students every step of the way. Whether aiming for universities in the UK, Europe, the USA, or beyond, BISL graduates leave us ready to succeed in the next stage of their education and life.

Ana R, BISL Graduate of 2014My time at BISL sparked my interest in psychology, film, and media, which I continued to pursue throughout my undergraduate studies. BISL also taught me the importance of hard work, especially when you’re exploring something you’re passionate about. All the teachers were incredible and served as very supportive role models.
