Key Aspects of the ICA Program
90
Countries Worldwide Are Using Improved Learning ICA methodology
The ICA program provides a flexible, dynamic, and comprehensive approach to education, helping every child reach their full potential.
1. Flexibility
The flexible structure allows teachers to adapt the materials to the interests and needs of the class, making learning more meaningful and effective.
2. Comprehensive Development
ICA nurtures not only academic knowledge but also 21st-century skills: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and global awareness. The IPC and IMYC programs teach children to be socially responsible and prepare them for active participation in modern society.
3. Engaging Learning
The learning process is built around thematic units connected to real-life situations. This approach makes lessons interesting, helps students see the practical application of knowledge, and boosts motivation to learn.
4. Support and Resources for Teachers
ICA provides extensive teaching resources and professional support for teachers. This allows for the creation of optimal learning conditions while maintaining creative freedom and adapting the process to the needs of the class.
5. Stress-Free Assessment
We use formative assessment, which focuses on developing students’ knowledge and skills rather than standardized exams. This creates a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where children can learn at their own pace.
If your goal is to develop not only academic knowledge but also life skills, global thinking, and social awareness in your child, then the ICA international programs are the best choice.

Parent Reviews
My daughter has been studying at Adriatic International School in Podgorica for two years now, and we’re truly happy we chose this school! The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and incredibly supportive. It was important for us that our child felt confident and unafraid to make mistakes — and this has been achieved 100%. The teachers don’t just teach – they inspire, support growth, and find a unique approach to each student.
I’d especially like to highlight the learning format: everything is taught in English. Within just a few months, my daughter began using English confidently, not only in class but also in everyday life – which is a huge advantage. At the same time, the school makes sure that key concepts are also reinforced in the child’s native language, which is so important. We also really appreciate the small class sizes, which ensure that every student receives individual attention. The curriculum is engaging and modern, with a strong focus on critical thinking and creativity.
We were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of extracurriculars! Every child can choose something they love – from drama studio to advanced science courses in chemistry and biology, and so much more. Each subject is taught by a skilled, passionate professional, and foreign languages are taught by native speakers.
Another thing we really value is the school’s approach to assessment – it’s pressure-free, with constructive feedback that emphasizes growth rather than mistakes. My daughter genuinely enjoys going to school every day, and as a mother, that’s the most important thing to me.
If you’re looking for a school where your child will feel engaged, comfortable, and excited to learn – I recommend Adriatic. They truly care about the children and are making a real investment in their future.

Adriatic is a school with a modern, thoughtful approach. It focuses not only on academics, but also on personal growth — emotional and social skills, the ability to be yourself. I especially value the warm, open atmosphere and the respectful attitude towards children.
Many schools lack a balance between academic achievement and a happy childhood — at Adriatic, I can see a real intention to find that balance.
If someone asked me why I chose Adriatic, I’d say: for its creativity, variety of subjects and methods, and most of all — because kids feel good here.

Both of our children started attending Adriatic International from the very first school days of 2023. After completing two full academic years, we’ve never once regretted our choice. The school fully lived up to our expectations — and they were high, as we moved to Montenegro specifically for our children to study here.
From the very beginning, Adriatic’s core values were evident: a friendly, safe environment and a truly individual approach to each child.
At the first open lessons, we were impressed by how much the kids’ spoken English had improved. By the end of the first year, their language skills had progressed even further.
All the school celebrations left warm and joyful memories. Our children gladly participated in creative activities without ever feeling pressured.
The school also offers healthy and well-organized meals — our kids were never left hungry.
At Adriatic, we felt calm and confident, and if it weren’t for life circumstances, we would have happily continued studying here.
We want to thank Adriatic and its entire team for two wonderful years in our family’s life. We wish the school growth in the upcoming academic year and even more students whose families share your values and vision for education.

My daughter has been attending the school for two years now, and we’re really happy with it. She goes to school in the morning with a smile and always shares her impressions after classes.
Her English has improved significantly during this time — thanks to the fact that teachers consistently speak to the students in English.
It’s also great that the school organizes different events, field trips, and excursions. We love that it feels like a small community, not just for the kids but for the parents as well.
Beyond academics, it’s a place where you can find friends and new experiences.

A wonderful school with a modern approach and open communication! A lot of attention is given to the child’s personality development and psychological needs at their age, as well as to sparking interest in learning and life through creativity and engaging activities.
One big plus for us was the preservation of the native language alongside a smooth introduction to English. Motivation here is gentle, the atmosphere is friendly, and the teaching follows the principles of international education with a strong focus on empathy.
Compared to other private schools, which often lack structure or a solid methodology, this school has both. In many human-centered approaches, discipline is often missing, but here it’s built through genuine student interest and involvement in the learning process.
It’s truly the best place for a child to adapt to social life in a kind and supportive environment — one that naturally inspires a love of learning.

For us, Adriatic International turned out to be a lifesaver. We were not prepared for the fact that in Montenegro, children start school at the age of 6. Typically, children are not accepted into kindergarten at such an age. Therefore, we were very pleased to enter the wonderful atmosphere of the school by enrolling in the 0 grade.
A huge advantage is that the instruction is in English. The child has started using English frequently in everyday life. The child always happily goes to school and stays for after-school activities. (It's important that the school offers after-school care).
The meals are well-organized, very tasty, and there is a choice of menu.
We like the art lessons; the children even get to draw on the walls! This is the kind of lesson that we ourselves missed in school; it really encourages creativity.
And in the mornings, there is music playing when the children enter the school!

We are delighted with how the educational process is organized, how communication is built, and how eagerly the children go to school. The school offers wonderful subjects that are divided into educational units.
One of the reasons for our family's move to Montenegro was the Adriatic project in Podgorica. We carefully chose education for our children, and this project was one of the significant reasons why we came here.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers and the entire project. It's a very friendly environment for children, where a child doesn't need to fear making a mistake or doing something wrong. What also impressed me is that all the assignments are marked in green, not red, and detailed feedback is provided. The approach here is different—evaluating a child's work not by mistakes but by their achievements.
I also really like the practice of Entry Point and Exit Point when a learning unit begins or ends. At the beginning, we are introduced to the material that the children will study, and at the end, the children make a small presentation for parents on the learned topic.

We really love our school. I recommend it to all our friends and hope that there will be more of us next academic year! The teachers are wonderful, very kind, and appropriately strict. It's ideal!
The atmosphere at the school is very warm, the children are friendly, and the administration strives to make school life interesting. Various events are constantly organized for both children and parents. It was important for us that the education is in English while maintaining a strong focus on mathematics and computer science. We were able to find this combination only at Adriatic International.
The kids are delighted with all the teachers! My daughter says she likes all of them so much that she can't even decide who is her favorite. A huge thanks to Artem for keeping my daughter's love for mathematics alive. Adriatic International has unique individuals who are excellent specialists in their respective fields and are fully dedicated to their work and the children, trying to teach them as much as possible and instill a love for the subject. Thanks to the school's Academic Director for assembling such a cohesive team of talented educators!
