Meet our Principal
Mel Hitchcocks - PrincipalBritish International School of LjubljanaAt BISL, we pride ourselves on providing an education that develops the whole child in a caring and supportive environment. We recognise each child as an individual and aim to challenge them to achieve their full potential, as we believe that each child has talent and can achieve success.
The academic curriculum is supplemented by a rigorous programme of personal, social and health education designed to provide life lessons with lasting impact. Our aim is to empower our students through the acquisition of new skills, by building their confidence and helping them develop their resilience. We do this by offering activities such as, after school clubs, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and encouraging students to take control of their own learning through active participation in the classroom and school assemblies.
At BISL, our aim is to instill a love of learning in a family friendly environment and to challenge our students to be the best versions of themselves.
