CHESS CLUB This club provides students with an opportunity to learn the spirit, discipline and philosophy of this ageless game. Find out why this game has been captivating minds and imaginations of generations of humans going back hundreds of years. Working out is not only a physical activity anymore - as a wise mathematician said once, “Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.”
COMIC BOOK CLUB. In the project-based club, students will be guided along the path of creating their own unique comic book from scratch. This involves varied creative work: drawing, painting, storytelling and design. This allows for the development of many different skills and furthers the students’ creative thinking. The experience will be tailored for each student individually as they bring their stories to life.
LATIN CLUB. The Latin club offers students the opportunity to explore the Latin language and Roman culture while strengthening their literacy and vocabulary skills. Through engaging activities, students will learn about Latin roots that enrich English vocabulary, famous quotations still used today, and key aspects of Roman mythology, history daily life, art, and technology. The club also provides insight into the Romans’ influence on the modern world, making Latin especially valuable for future studies in fields such as medicine and law.
SERBIAN LANGUAGE CLUB. Serbian club is designed specifically for native speakers who want to deepen their connection with their mother tongue and develop sophisticated language skills. The club serves as a creative and intellectual space where participants can explore the richness of Serbian language and literature while strengthening their reading comprehension, writing abilities, and active vocabulary. The club meets once a week in supportive environment where students can experiment with language without fear of judgment, ultimately becoming more articulate and confident communicators in their native tongue.

At PRIMA International School of Belgrade, secondary students work towards the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE). This is a curriculum and assessment system suitable for schools and colleges around the world. The IGCSE program from Cambridge brings out the best in students and develops successful learners through a skills-based approach to teaching and assessing. More than 4000 schools throughout the world are registered to teach Cambridge’s IGCSE and it is one of the most widely taken international qualifications in the world. The curriculum encourages students not only to acquire knowledge, but also to:
IGCSEs are internationally recognized by schools, universities and employers as equivalent in standard to the British GCSE and International GCE O-Level examinations. They provide a solid foundation for higher level courses such as AS and A Level, the Advanced International Certificate of Education (all of which are offered by PRIMA International School). Examinations are held in June and November each year, with results published in August and February.
IGCSE caters for different levels and areas of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in many subjects. It is a flexible course of study that gives candidates the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them (apart from obligatory examination in Mathematics, Science and English). The examinations are designed to be taught as a two-year course for students aged 14-17 years.
We encourage all students to take a wide range of subjects at IGCSE level. In order to follow a balanced curriculum, students at PRIMA are urged to take courses from each of the IGCSE subjects groups. This will help students to plan for the next stage of their secondary education as their choice of courses leading to AS and A Level examinations.
This year the students have a greater variety of choices when it comes to extra curricular activities such as the school clubs.
MAGAZINE CLUB. Students engage in writing for a magazine. Planning an article, developing its themes and producing the text in cooperation with the editors and other writers is only one of the many attractions of this club. Creativity is the order of the day! If you are keen on writing and would love to work in a dynamic and creative environment then this club is for you! Excelsior!
THE DEBATE CLUB remains strong this year as well. Young minds learn to sharpen their arguments here: tone, volume, diction, language, clarity, fluency, humour... Public speaking builds character and confidence but verbal sparring brings the level of fun to a whole new level. The students continue to debate about issues such as internet, education, media and such.

In their last two years at PRIMA International School students prepare for AS Level and A Level examinations, in those subjects which, together with their parents, teachers and the Academic Director, they have chosen as their special areas of study. These are the subjects that will form the basis of their university course.
To help students deciding on their academic and professional future, PRIMA International School has a full-time Careers Counsellor who, together with the relevant teachers and the Academic Director, will advise students on the courses that are best suited to their individual needs.
GCE A Levels are one of the most widely recognised qualifications around the world, and are universally accepted as a proof of academic ability for entry to universities. A Levels are also important to employers, who often demand A Levels as a condition of job entry.
Good AS and A Level grades are a key to admission for all the world’s major English speaking universities. They are also accepted as proof of academic ability for university entrance in all European universities. Good grades at AS and A Level can result in up to one full year of credit at universities in the USA and Canada.
