Our class sizes are intentionally small to ensure each student receives the individual attention they deserve. While each school level has its own limits, classes never exceed 24 students per classroom.

Is there an entrance exam to get into Richmond Park Schools?
We are a non-selective institution and do not require an entrance exam for general admission. However, we do conduct academic testing as part of our scholarship programme for Secondary School students. These tests cover subjects such as B/H/S language, English, Mathematics, Sciences, and general knowledge. Please contact us for detailed information about the admissions or scholarship process.
How do you communicate with parents?
We view parents as vital partners in education. Communication is ongoing through our website, social media, school newsletters, and the SchoolMind platform. This digital tool allows parents to track grades, homework, attendance, announcements, and more—helping families stay closely connected to their child’s school experience.
Do Richmond Park Schools Sarajevo provide transportation services?
Richmond Park Schools Sarajevo do not directly provide transportation, but we will gladly connect you with trusted transportation companies we have collaborated with for many years. Please note that all arrangements are made directly between parents and the transport provider, and the school is not responsible for the service.
When should we apply for the next school year?
Regular applications for new students open each spring. However, families are welcome to contact us at any time throughout the year to check for available spots in specific classes or campuses, as limited openings may be available during the school year.
What documents are required for student registration?
To enroll at Richmond Park Schools Sarajevo, students must submit the necessary documentation based on their citizenship status. For citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, required documents include a birth certificate, CIPS registration (proof of residence), and a medical certificate for first-grade students. For foreign students, a birth certificate, valid ID or other identification document, and a medical certificate for first-grade students are needed. If the student previously attended school abroad or followed a different curriculum, an equivalence decision issued by the relevant educational authorities is also required.
