WELCOME
TO LJUBLJANA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
It is an honor and a privilege for me to be able to welcome you to this
wonderful, truly international school located in Ljubljana, Slovenia. At LIS
we believe that there is no limit to a student’s potential, as long as he/she
keeps a positive attitude and is willing to put in the effort required to do
so. LIS provides the educational and emotional support that every student
needs to achieve their goals.
I believe that every individual is born with the innate sense of wonder and
excitement to learn. We are thrilled when we learn to take our first steps,
to tie our own shoes, and to comb our hair. In many schools, this
adventure and excitement to learn is curtailed, but not at LIS. Here, every
member of the faculty encourages students’ joy in learning new things,
exploring new ideas, and endeavoring to go beyond the ordinary and the
mundane. At LIS positivity reigns. No one is allowed to say or even think
the word “can’t” in regard to accomplishing anything. We stress the “can
do” attitude every day.
This positive attitude extends beyond the classroom. We firmly believe
that a solid foundation in all the core subjects is enhanced by outside the
classroom endeavors in athletics and the performing arts. Thus, we have
an active after school activity program in which all students are
encouraged to participate.
We believe that it is the teacher’s responsibility to vary the teaching
methods to accommodate every student’s learning style in the class.
Students learn differently and it is the teacher’s job to determine the
method that best suits each student. If a child is not comprehending a
specific concept by listening to the teacher explain, then the teacher must
reteach that child using a different instructional method. Reteaching,
using the same method does not lead to success.
Of course, this is time consuming and impossible in most schools because
of class size. At Ljubljana International School, the classes are kept small
so that each student can get the individual attention he/she needs, and
the teacher has the time, experience, and resources to ensure that every
student masters all the subjects and ideals being presented.
I cordially invite you to visit our campuses at any time to discover for
yourself just what a different and wonderful school LIS truly is. You will
find that my door is always open, and I encourage you to visit me any
time you have a concern, a suggestion, or even if you just want to discuss
your child’s education.
Sincerely

School is not only to get some basic knowledge but more about atmosphere, attitude and respect. Crucial skills to think critically, to be able to make difference between megabytes and megawatts, to understand where to get necessary info – that what should be developed.
Bon Voyage!
To have a school behind with positive and warm memories about is really cool. This is foundation stone in your life. School is not only to get some basic knowledge but more about atmosphere, attitude and respect.
Crucial skills to think critically, to be able to make difference between megabytes and megawatts, to understand where to get necessary info – that what should be developed. LIS hit all of above.
With my daughter Anna we were with LIS from the first days of establishing and Anna is one of the first graduates now…
I wish all the best to the school and saying many thanks to the principal, to all teachers and staff. Sincere gratitude to John Marshall Newton who invested soul in LIS and made it real.

Parent of a secondary student
Having come to you with a child this year, we felt genuine attention from all the teachers.
Dear teachers and school management, our ninth academic year is coming to an end. A year of anxiety and unrest. Having come to you with a child this year, we felt genuine attention from all the teachers. Success is encouraging, but we firmly know and always remember that the basis of this success is not only the enormous work of the child, but also that of the teachers.
Parent of a primary grade student
Tolerance is practiced by teachers and administration at the highest level!
As a mother, I am overwhelmed with emotions of joy and gratitude. My son is absolutely delighted with Ljubljana International School. Our child easily joined this incredible school family, where knowledge is presented in interesting and exciting ways by experienced and qualified teachers. A wonderful atmosphere, kindness and responsiveness, values, rules and discipline that children are very gently introduced to. Tolerance is practiced by teachers and administration at the highest level!

Before LIS, my child had never studied with such involvement and pleasure. His English has advanced to a new level in only three months of study! Here, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, and if you have the slightest wishes, you instantly get feedback and someone will always assist. Activities, experiments, research, field trips and performances for parents are perfect. I especially want to note the creative direction of the school, dancing, drama, music, Art – they will certainly help to reveal talent and get rid of the slightest complexes and doubts. And of course, sports and activities during breaks are his favorite time of the day. Thank you, LIS!
A family, with three children attending LIS
When our family came to LIS we were welcomed as good old friends and that was truly extraordinary!
We would like to sincerely thank the entire staff of your wonderful school for what you do. You are able to develop and help educate a personality in each child. When our family came to LIS we were welcomed as good old friends and that was truly extraordinary! Despite the fact that our children need an hour and a half to get to school, they do it with pleasure and that in itself speaks volumes in terms of what we think of the school
Parent of a middle school student
The teachers were so attentive to the arrival of a new student in the classroom that this integration process was made very easy for our child. Our daughter quickly adapted to her new environment and began her studies on the right foot at LIS. Special thanks to the students for also playing a huge role in welcoming our daughter. And this is also an indicator of a great school, because people of the same mind gather under one roof. Here, people share the same goals, values, and views and that is why they quickly find a common language. The school also helped reveal the hidden creative talents of our daughter. She truly enjoyed the format of teaching and how teachers worked with students. The classrooms and other school premises are well equipped. Teachers find an individual approach to each child. Everyone is very kind, sincere and caring towards the students. Thank you for this time together.

I am very happy that my children are able to attend Ljubljana International School. This school impressed us with their attitude towards kids and parents. We met wonderful people here and I want to thank Mr. John, Mr. Dan, Ms. Yuliya, Ms. DanielIa, and Ms. Melania. At LIS, children feel safe and comfortable, as the community creates an atmosphere that reminds the children of their homes. Every time I needed it, I received support from the school’s administration. For the first time in his life, my youngest son likes attending school and now does so with pleasure. He wakes up with a smile every morning, eager to go to LIS. I see how he is progressing, developing his communicative, social, language, and art skills.
At first, I stayed at school with him during a brief adaptation period and I am very happy with his progress and newly found independence. His homeroom teacher created a warm atmosphere and a good environment for all students in her classroom. She is really kind and attentive to all the children.
My eldest son is also very happy to be part of LIS and he is quite successful with his studies. I am happy to hear that his level of English has improved so much over the last 3 months. He likes his classmates and his teachers. The homeroom teacher has spent lots of time helping our son adapt to his school successfully. Like most other teachers at this school, she is very attentive and always helpful. I want to thank LIS for the kind attention they give children and I’m happy to see our sons growing in such a wonderful, reliable, and caring environment.

When I asked my children what they like most about Ljubljana International School, they answered that the school has wonderful teachers and very friendly classmates. In general, they said that all the teachers taught lessons in an interesting, entertaining, and creative way. It is a school of the future, such as it should be, and that they always dreamed of attending such a school. And many thanks to you for making their dream come true! Good luck to you and congratulations again on the new building!
