QSI International School of Bratislava

The school employs a mastery learning approach, operating on the belief that all students can succeed when provided with the necessary time and resources. It emphasizes the development of "success orientations," including trustworthiness, kindness, responsibility, independent endeavor, concern for others, group interaction, and aesthetic appreciation. The curriculum also seeks to foster an appreciation for the culture and history of Slovakia.

The school offers a curriculum modeled after U.S. standards, incorporating core subjects such as mathematics, science, reading, writing, and cultural studies. Students also engage in special subjects including art, music, technology, physical education, and drama. Foreign language instruction is provided in German, Slovak, Spanish, Korean, and French.

Secondary students prepare for university entrance in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and globally. The school is an official SAT and College Board test center and offers both Advanced Placement (AP) courses and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

The school provides an Intensive English program for students who require additional support in verbal and written English to reach academic proficiency. While the school can accommodate students with mild learning or social-emotional needs, it does not have a dedicated resource department; moderate disabilities are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

The school accepts applications year-round for students from age 3 through grade 12. Prospective families are encouraged to visit the campus or schedule a one-on-one online meeting with the director. Applicants aged 7 and older must complete the MAP placement examination in reading, language arts, and mathematics to determine appropriate placement.

The school year is divided into three terms, running from late August to mid-December, early January to late March, and early April to mid-June. Students receive formal status reports five times throughout the academic year.

As of the 2026–2027 school year, the school operates from a modern campus at Incheba in Bratislava. The facility features spacious classrooms, a dedicated Early Childhood Center, and specialized laboratories for science and technology. It also includes dedicated spaces for the arts and languages, a modern gymnasium, and various indoor and outdoor learning areas.

Extracurricular activities are available for students of all ages, including an interscholastic sports program for students aged 10–18. The school participates in activities through the Central and Eastern European Schools Association and the Danube Valley Athletic Conference. Additional offerings include student government, social events, and various after-school clubs.
