Knightsbridge Schools International together with Porto Montenegro announced recently an opening of the new premier school for the community and residents of Porto Montenegro. A fresh and compelling approach to education will be offered by Knightsbridge Montenegro, based on successful features of Knightsbridge School in London and international standards expected of schools around the world.
KS Montenegro will open in September 2010 within Porto Montenegro’s nautical village, with classes from ages 3-8. The school will expand into a future, purpose-built campus in the area to grow the school for all age groups, as well as to offer summer camps and community schemes. The academic model offers bilingual English-Montenegrin instruction and is based upon the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programmes, allowing the international community to benefit dually from a world-class education and the unique experience of local culture, language and community.
‘We are thrilled to work with such an impressive development and organization as Porto Montenegro to provide a premiere international education for the residents of Porto Montenegro, the Bay of Kotor community, and the region as a whole.’ says Dimitri Goulandris, Executive Director of Knightsbridge Schools International.
“This partnership is an important step forward in bringing the international yachting community to Porto Montenegro. Our vision is to become the number one home port in the Mediterranean and Knightsbridge School will take us one step closer to achieving this goal”, says Oliver Corlette, Managing Director for Porto Montenegro. “World-class education facilities, along with Porto Montenegro’s newly thriving community will ensure we meet this objective”, adds Corlette.
