Homeroom Teacher, Mentor, and University Admissions Advisor

A comprehensive support system that ensures every student's academic and professional success.

At International School, we believe that individual support is key to the development of every student. Our unique approach to education includes three levels of support: homeroom teacher, mentor, and university admissions advisor. This integrated system ensures that each student receives the dedication, guidance, and attention needed to achieve their goals and succeed more easily and effectively in everything they aspire to.

As the only school in Belgrade and the region offering a mentoring approach and a unique student support system, we provide students with education of the highest standards, as well as the assistance needed to achieve those qualifications. It’s no surprise that more than 30 students from International School are among the top 30 Cambridge learners in the world.

Homeroom Teacher: Your Daily Guide

The homeroom teacher plays a pivotal role in the daily school life of students, serving as the primary point of contact for both students and parents. Their responsibilities include:

  • Monitoring academic progress: Regularly tracks students’ grades, attendance, and engagement in lessons, identifying areas that require extra attention or support.
  • Helping with time management: Assists students in managing their time effectively, balancing school obligations, homework, and extracurricular activities to achieve optimal results.

Communication with parents: Maintains open and transparent communication with parents, regularly updating them on their child’s progress, achievements, and challenges, and working together to find solutions.

Mentor: Your Chosen Teacher, Support, and Guide

Mentoring is a unique concept exclusive to International School, representing a special relationship between teachers and students. A mentor provides deeper, personalised support by focusing on:

  • Developing personal skills: Helps students identify and nurture their talents, interests, and skills, providing guidance for their improvement through various activities and projects.
  • Goal setting: Collaborates with students to define clear short-term and long-term goals, both academic and personal, and supports them in achieving these goals through regular meetings and progress tracking.
  • Emotional support: Creates a trusting and safe space where students can openly discuss their challenges, dilemmas, or problems, offering advice, encouragement, and assistance in overcoming them.

This concept is often highlighted by International School students as one of the most helpful aspects of their education. Mentoring is not only beneficial for students but also for mentors, as it allows them to acquire new skills and deepen their understanding of students’ needs.

University Admissions Advisor: Your Connection to the World

The university admissions advisor provides expert guidance to students throughout the process of applying to higher education institutions worldwide, including:

  • Exploring options: Assists students in researching various universities and programmes that align with their interests, aptitudes, and career goals, offering information on admission requirements, deadlines, and specifics of each programme.
  • Application preparation: Guides students through the entire application process, including writing personal statements, gathering recommendations, completing application forms, and preparing the necessary documentation to ensure each application is of the highest quality and competitiveness.
  • Interview preparation: Organises mock interviews and provides feedback, helping students prepare for meetings with university representatives, develop self-presentation skills, and gain the confidence needed for a successful performance.

This comprehensive approach ensures that International School students are not only academically prepared but also fully supported in all aspects of their educational journey, from high school to admission to prestigious universities worldwide.


The triple support system is designed to provide every student with personalised attention and guidance needed to achieve their academic and personal goals, ensuring success in further education and careers.
