Private Primary School “Mihajlo Pupin” is an educational institution that combines the national curriculum in an extended format, full-day classes, and systematic character education. The school provides an environment in which knowledge is acquired thoroughly and character is built consistently.
A Community of Families with Shared Values
From the very first day, our school has functioned as an organized community of families who share the same values regarding our cultural heritage, tradition, and view of family life. Tradition is our guiding compass!
High Standards, Clear Rules, Strong Upbringing
The work of the school is based on high academic standards, clear rules, and a strong educational framework. Small class sizes and full-day classes allow for an individual approach and continuous monitoring of each student’s progress.
Knowledge Is Built Most Deeply in One’s Native Language
For knowledge to become fundamental — the kind from which critical thinking can later grow — it must be acquired in one’s native language, especially during the first cycles of education. That is why the national curriculum was the only possible choice for us.
The National Curriculum as a Foundation of Understanding, Not Memorization
The national curriculum holds a central place at “Mihajlo Pupin” School. We deeply believe in the power of learning in one’s native language. It is difficult to imagine how stories, historical events, geographical concepts, mathematical formulas, and physical phenomena can truly be understood if they are not explained and presented in the language children understand best.
Jezik, kultura i identitet kao osnova obrazoLanguage, Culture, and Identity as the Foundation of Educationvanja
When we devote special attention to nurturing the Serbian language, culture of speech, the Cyrillic script, our literature, and when we teach the history and geography of our region, we ensure that the national curriculum becomes a foundation of identity, not merely a foundation of knowledge.
In addition to regular classes based on the national curriculum in an extended format, school life includes project-based work, thematic days, workshops, and public lessons. This approach enables students to develop critical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to apply knowledge in different situations.
“Private Primary School ‘Mihajlo Pupin’ was not created as a response to trends, nor as a compromise with the modern understanding of education. It was created out of the need to reestablish clear standards of knowledge, work, and upbringing in a time when these concepts are often relativized.”
