This school has all the necessary permits from the Ministry of Science and Education and its certificates are valid both in Croatia and around the world.

The school has a school calendar as designated by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia. Accordingly, the holidays at Harfa International School are the same as in all public schools in the Republic of Croatia.

From the first grade, all classes and activities are conducted entirely in English, which is also the official language of the school. At the same time, Croatian Language is a mandatory subject for all students and is nurtured daily through conversation, reading, and age-appropriate activities, supporting the development of bilingualism.

In addition to the regular curriculum prescribed by the Ministry, we offer additional programs that are highly beneficial for a child’s development: mental arithmetic, Lego robotics, and baseball. Classes are occasionally held outdoors in the park within the school grounds. Depending on the topic being covered, half-day, full-day, or multi-day field trips will also be planned.

What parents say!

A new dimension in education

We recognize the importance of accepting a child as they are, without the need or attempt to change them to fit parental expectations, and by providing numerous opportunities and examples for changing inherited patterns of parenting.

Transforming school with trust and collaboration!

A lot of love and effort have been put into providing children with quality education while also ensuring a happy, stress-free childhood. There’s an exceptionally warm relationship with the children! When a child looks forward to going to school, you know you’ve done the right thing for them!
