INSPIRED BY CHILDREN
At the heart of EDUCA is our commitment to education as a calling, not a business. As part of the Education for Serbia Foundation, we champion a fundamental principle: zero profit, maximum impact. Every resource we receive flows directly back into creating rich learning experiences and supporting our student community, where our balance sheet shows zero profit but our classrooms overflow with the richness of knowledge. Our non-profit status gives us the freedom to pursue excellence without compromise, to invest fully in bright minds and caring hearts. Here, innovation in education blooms naturally, academic achievement stands alongside character development and success is measured in transformed lives. This is education with purpose, where every decision reflects our deepest values: that children deserve nothing less than our complete dedication.
OUR VISION
To nurture global citizens who combine academic excellence with emotional intelligence and wellbeing, empowering them to shape a brighter tomorrow while fostering a deep understanding of diverse cultures, sustainable values and the importance of lifelong learning in our interconnected world.
OUR MISSION
To provide a welcoming educational environment where every child thrives academically and emotionally, supported by innovative teaching, international standards and a caring community that celebrates individual growth while building strong foundations for future success through a whole-child development.
OUR VALUES
Engaging
Hearts
We nurture meaningful connections that transform classrooms into communities where every child feels truly seen and valued – a place where empathy flourishes and authentic relationships become the foundation for joyful learning.
Discovering
Minds
Our Finnish-inspired approach ignites the spark of curiosity in young thinkers, guiding them beyond textbooks to connect ideas across subjects and construct understanding through purposeful play and thoughtful inquiry.
Uplifting Wellbeing
True learning flourishes when children feel balanced in body, mind and spirit – at EDUCA, wellbeing isn't an afterthought but the essential foundation upon which all achievement is built, character shaped and mind nourished.
Celebrating Curiosity
We honour questions as much as answers, creating environments that invite exploration and celebrate the sideways thinkers, persistent questioners and keen observers who approach the world with wonder.
Achieving Excellence
Excellence at EDUCA means becoming the fullest expression of oneself – guiding each child to recognise their unique strengths while developing the resilience to overcome challenges with authenticity and purpose.
LOOKING FORWARD
As we continue to grow, our founding principle remains unchanged: every child deserves an education that nurtures their whole self – mind, body and spirit. We remain committed to being a school where academic achievement goes hand in hand with emotional intelligence, where global perspectives blend with personal attention and where every student can truly thrive. At EDUCA, we don’t just prepare students for the future – we help them flourish in the present, creating joyful memories and strong foundations that will last a lifetime.
