School profile
British International School Belgrade
The school describes its final two years two different ways on its own site. Its Upper Secondary page states that “students not following the Cambridge programme would be entered for the University of Nebraska curriculum in Years 12 and 13”, and lists subjects including American History, American Government, Career Planning and Personal Finance. Its homepage description calls the same thing an “American High School Diploma”. The two are not the same claim, and we have not yet asked the school which it means – so we name the University of Nebraska curriculum, which is the wording on the page that describes the programme.

The school's own homepage gives 3-18 in its page description, and its 2025 British Schools Overseas inspection report gives the same range. Its youngest stage is the Infant School. Source: the school's own page, read 25 August 2026.

Before school age
BIS takes children from 3 into its Infant School. The school's homepage and its 2025 inspection report both give 3-18; the youngest stage is the Infant School.
It appears alongside the standalone kindergartens on our kindergartens and preschools page, which is the one place in this guide where both kinds of answer sit together.
After school
BIS publishes 33 activities on its own site – pottery, cooking, capoeira, cricket, volleyball, football, ballet, film animation… Their page is the current list; ours is dated.
These sit alongside the city's own clubs on our after-school activities page, which is the only place the two are listed together.
What the fee covers
BIS does not publish its fees. Tuition fees are provided to individual parents electronically or during the Admissions Conference.
Inside the fee. Teaching and extracurricular activities; Books and instructional materials; Examination fees; Report and certificate issuance; Single-day curriculum-related field trips; ESL support at no extra charge.
Billed on top. School transport; Lunch (external caterer); After-school activities; The annual study tour; Uniform.
Discounts. Sibling: 10% off for the second child and each additional sibling.
Uniform. Mandatory for Infant, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Secondary has a casual dress code. Uniform is bought from the school office at what the school calls minimum extra cost.
Getting in
By admissions conference – the school meets the family first.
Deadlines. None published.
Testing. No entrance examination is described.
Documents. Application form, official reports from previous schools, Student Reference Form, immunisation certificate, passport or birth certificate copy.
Process. Book an Admissions Conference, then submit documents, then a family introduction to curriculum and policies.
Special educational needs
Individual education plans are in place for all pupils identified with special educational needs. The 2025 inspection recorded 32 such pupils, and noted that monitoring in the primary school is close and consistent while use of the plans in secondary teachers' planning is less consistent.
Accreditation
| Body | Status | How we treat it |
|---|---|---|
| British Schools Overseas | registered, URN 152207, inspected over three days, 12-14 May 2025 source | school's own page |
| Serbian Ministry of Education | recognised | school's own page |
| Cambridge International | the school teaches Cambridge programmes and enters students for Checkpoint, IGCSE and A Level | not checked |
| ECIS, CIS, COBIS | stated on the school's own site. ECIS publishes no public member directory, the CIS directory could not be read, and both COBIS directory addresses return an error, so none of the three could be checked either way | no register to check |
- school's own page – Stated by the school on its own site, naming the body. We have not matched it on the body's own register.
- not checked – Stated by the school. We have not checked it against the body's own register.
- no register to check – Stated by the school. The body publishes no register we could read, so we could not check it either way.
What stands out
- Two routes in the final years: Cambridge A Levels, or the University of Nebraska curriculum
- Examination fees and ESL are both inside the fee
- Duke of Edinburgh's International Award operator
- Hosts its 2025 British Schools Overseas inspection report on its own site – the only inspection report we found published by a school in this guide
What we are still checking
A directory publishes an annual tuition range for BIS on a profile the school does not manage, with no academic year stated. The school's own position is that fees are given to families directly, so we do not reproduce that range.
Open questions we could not settle from the school's own published pages. We have not yet put these questions to the schools. When we do, the answers will appear here with the date we asked.
- Whether the University of Nebraska route leads to an awarded American high school diploma – the Upper Secondary page and the homepage description word it differently
- Whether Advanced Placement is offered
- Fee schedule
