Montenegro has become a sought-after destination. Many families have moved or are considering moving here. An important issue for all families with children is education, whether kindergarten or school – there are options in Montenegro.
Education in Montenegro at a Glance
In Montenegro, education is mandatory for children between 6 and 15, and it is free. Children enroll in Elementary school at the age of 6 and must complete nine grades in total. High school is not mandatory, and there are options for different areas of interest and future careers that will be continued as a craft or academic education.
Public schools dominantly have a curriculum in Montenegrin, which can be challenging for non-native families planning to settle in this beautiful country. There are private schools with both state certificates and/or internationally recognized curricula.
