Prestigious Schools

The most prestigious school in Sarajevo is, without a doubt, the Prva Gimnazija. Several Nobel prize winners received their education at the school and families not just in Sarajevo but across Bosnia and Herzegovina often spend a small fortune lobbying for their children to be accepted.

The school is situated in the heart of downtown Sarajevo and offers young adults an education in every field you can possibly imagine. To say your child is attending Prva Gimnazija is the equivalent here of saying they're going to Harvard or Oxford.

Students are expected to maintain high grades and graduates from the Prva Gimnazija fill the ranks of Bosnia's wealthiest and most aristocratic citizens - Presidents, Prime Ministers, Lawyers, Doctors, Artists, Dancers, and so on.

The school even continued its operations during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although it was open to shelling and sniper fire, parents still considered the risk worthwhile.
