This curriculum focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject.
  • Science
    This curriculum framework covers four content areas: scientific enquiry, biology, chemistry and physics. Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning, investigating, recording and analysing data. Environmental awareness and some history of science are also part of the curriculum.

CAMBRIDGE SKILLS AT CRNJANSKI

CRITICAL THINKING, ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND PROBLEM SOLVING

STUDENT SUPPORT

  • MENTORSHIP
    To support the well-being of the children, the school asks each student to choose a mentor from among the teachers. This mentor helps students feel safe, complete tasks on time and deal with any issues in their school life. The mentor also communicates with parents to inform them of their child's personal and academic development.
  • Individualized work with students

    In the Cambridge program, as in other parts of the Crnjanski system, we pay particular attention to one-on-one work with students. By keeping class sizes small (around 10 students) and assigning every class a lead teacher, we time and opportunities for individual attention.

    Students have access to the school psychologist, whose job it is to track students' academic progress and involvement at Crnjanski. The school psychologist is another corner of the mentorship "triangle" involving also the lead teacher and parents or guardian. At the center of this triangle is, of course, the student.

  • Preparatory courses and additional classes

    To prepare students for the Cambridge system, we provide preparatory courses in English for full-time students who have not previously attended the program.

    The preparatory courses are also available for part-time students who wish to learn English in the manner prescribed by the Cambridge program. Attaining English-language proficiency at the expected level can help enable these students to later enroll in the full-time program.
