Schools in Croatia and Italy prepare for new academic year

Educational institutions in Croatia and Italy are preparing for the upcoming academic year with significant updates. In Pola, the Giuseppina Martinuzzi Italian Elementary School and the Dignano elementary school, which includes both Italian and Croatian sections, are readying for the September 7 start date. Following summer maintenance and structural improvements, the Martinuzzi school reported a notable increase in student enrollments, defying national demographic declines.

In Terni, Italy, the Brin Institute has received approval to introduce a Montessori-style primary class starting in the 2027-2028 school year. The initiative, approved by local authorities, aims to provide a full-time 40-hour weekly schedule. This move is intended to meet local family demand and support work-life balance for parents by integrating educational activities, dining services, and integrative programs into a single pedagogical framework.
