Welcome to the American International School of Zagreb
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the American International School of Zagreb (AISZ), an award-winning school of excellence in the heart of Croatia. Whether you are a current family or exploring our school for the first time, I invite you to discover what makes AISZ such a remarkable place for students and families from around the world.
For more than 60 years, AISZ has proudly served the international community as a private, non-profit day school dedicated to academic excellence and innovation. With students representing over 40 nationalities, our community is enriched by diverse cultures, languages, and perspectives—creating a truly global environment where learning extends well beyond the classroom.
Our curriculum, influenced by a blend of U.S. and International learning standards, offers a well-rounded education that allows students to pursue their passions, ask profound questions, and seek solutions to complex problems. With innovative teaching methods, we ensure that both academic and artistic disciplines are explored deeply.
We offer three rigorous diploma pathways— the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, the AISZ Honors Diploma, and the AISZ High School Diploma. These programs prepare our graduates for success at exceptional universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Croatia, and beyond. Each year, our students leave us not only with strong academic foundations but also with the skills and character to thrive in diverse global settings.
At AISZ, our vision is for every student to “experience the future today.” We prepare learners to face the challenges of tomorrow and to embrace the opportunities of a rapidly changing world with confidence and creativity. Our mission is to develop both the skills and the character that empower students to build futures rich with promise.
This mission is grounded in our shared values: being respectful, responsible, resilient, and kind. These principles guide daily life at AISZ, ensuring that alongside academic excellence, our students develop compassion, confidence, and integrity—foundations that enable them to contribute meaningfully wherever life takes them.
Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn more about AISZ. I invite you to explore further and see why, for more than six decades, families from across the world have trusted us to provide an outstanding international education. We also invite you to arrange a visit, in-person or virtually, to experience firsthand the warmth and dedication that define our school community.
Warm regards,
Dr. Darin Fahrney
