CURRICULUM FOR THE GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE COMBINED PROGRAMME

 

The curriculum for the General Education Department is a unique combination of selected subjects that provides students who opt for this department with the best elements of both the Serbian national curriculum of general secondary education and the Cambridge International curriculum.

Subjects within the National Programme are taught in Serbian, while Cambridge subjects are taught exclusively in English, where students cover different teaching units and gain skills that are not part of the national curriculum.

You can find the list of all the subjects offered in the General Education Department in the table below.

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
Contemporary in any sense of the word, our school offers functional knowledge and quality preparation for tertiary education in Serbia and abroad. Implementing modern and creative teaching in the classroom, where the teachers’ pedagogy and students’ performance are aligned with the highest academic standards for the high-school finals, our school develops linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, cultural, technical and ICT competence, which is a prerequisite for further education and professional development. Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
