Director’s 
Welcome

Welcome to the American International 
School of Zagreb.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to 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 to learn, grow, and belong.

For more than 60 years, AISZ has proudly served Zagreb's international community as a private, non-profit day school dedicated to academic excellence and genuine 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, shaped by US educational standards and enhanced by international best practice, offers a well-rounded education that empowers students to pursue their passions, ask meaningful questions, and find solutions to complex problems. We offer three rigorous diploma pathways — the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, the AISZ Honors Diploma, and the AISZ High School Diploma — each preparing our graduates for success at exceptional universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond.

At AISZ, our vision is for every student to experience the future today. We prepare young people to face tomorrow's challenges with confidence, creativity, and character. Our mission is to develop both the skills and the values that empower students to build futures rich with promise — guided always by our four core values: Respectful, Responsible, Resilient, and Kind.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. I warmly invite you to explore our website, arrange a visit, and experience firsthand the dedication and warmth that define the AISZ community.

Warm regards, Dr. Darin Fahrney Director, 
American International School of Zagreb
