The idea of the Age of Enlightenment continues in Savremena as well

The Age of Enlightenment is oriented towards the future, progress and desire for change, and this is exactly what the most modern grammar school in Serbia stands for. The concept of education fostered by Savremena Gimnazija, modern technologies and truly different approaches to education make it, without a doubt, the school of the future.

Although it follows all trends in education and strives to include them in its regular routine, Savremena also follows the steps of the first Serbian educator – St. Sava, advocating for the preservation of enlightenment ideas, constant improvement and continuous advancement of educational principles. It is a combination of modern and traditional, which year after year attracts more and more students eager to acquire knowledge in a modern way.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
