Class Schedule
Classes take place between Monday and Friday from 9:00 to 12:30.

All of our teachers are native Croatian speakers and hold a university degree in Teaching Croatian as a Foreign Language. The school students come from a wide variety of fascinating nations such as Argentina, USA, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Poland, Germany and Turkey. Many of them have Croatian family heritage as well.
You should bring a dictionary, notebooks and colored pens. It is useful to have 2 notebooks, one for new vocabulary, and one for the exercises in class. Textbooks and other teaching materials are provided, but it is advisable to have a good system of keeping your notes together.
