🍳 Home Economics - Practical Skills for Life

At British International School of Zagreb, we believe education should prepare students not only for examinations, but for life. Our Home Economics programme is designed to equip students with practical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and real-world competencies that foster independence and responsibility.

Through a structured and engaging programme, students explore key areas such as:
Nutrition and healthy meal preparation
Food science and safety
Budgeting and financial literacy
Sustainable living and responsible consumption
Household management and organisation
Our modern, well-equipped facilities allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in a hands-on environment. By planning, preparing, and evaluating their own work, students build confidence, teamwork skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of accountability.

Home Economics supports the development of well-rounded individuals who understand the importance of health, sustainability, and informed decision-making. These essential life skills complement academic achievement and prepare students to thrive in an ever-changing global society.

At British International School of Zagreb, we are committed to nurturing capable, confident, and globally minded young people — ready for the future.

As we welcome a brand new year, we would like to take a moment to reflect with gratitude and look ahead with excitement. The past year has been filled with learning, growth, achievements, and memorable moments that have strengthened our community.

At the British International School of Zagreb (BISZ), we are proud of our students, staff, parents, and partners who continue to inspire us every day through dedication, curiosity, and collaboration. Together, we have built an environment where excellence, creativity, and international-mindedness thrive.

May the year ahead bring new opportunities, continued success, good health, and happiness to all. We look forward to another year of learning, innovation, success and shared achievements as we continue shaping bright futures together.

Wishing our entire BISZ community and friends a joyful, prosperous, and successful New Year!
