Private Gymnasium Tvrđava - Novi Sad
Frequently Asked Questions
You can find answers to frequently asked questions in the list below.
Our answer is YES. In order for a school to operate, it must obtain a license from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, which allows the school to order certificates and diplomas from the Prosvetni pregled (Educational Review). There are legally prescribed forms for certificates and diplomas, so after completing your education at the Gymnasium, you receive a valid diploma, like a diploma from a state school. After completing the fourth year, students can enroll in any state or private university, as is the case with any other state gymnasium.
We are aware that all the benefits our school provides require costs, and therefore determine the amount of tuition, and that for some people that amount is beyond their financial means. For this reason, we have provided one full scholarship throughout the entire schooling for students with excellent grades in primary school. Children whose parents/guardians with net income do not exceed two average net salaries in the Republic of Serbia receive additional points in the scholarship competition.
Since we are a private institution and are not financed from the budget of the Republic of Serbia, tuition is paid upon enrollment and during schooling.
The annual tuition fee is 3,490 euros. The enrollment fee is paid each school year in the amount of 500 euros, while after that the tuition fee is paid in 10 equal monthly installments in the amount of 299 euros in dinar equivalent, starting from September to June of the current school year. The tuition fee includes books and notebooks, a backpack, a laptop (remains the property of the child after graduation), a mouse and mouse pad, a water bottle, supplementary classes, certain extracurricular activities and sections, as well as an internship at Vega IT Sourcing firm for the best students.
We also offer the possibility of scholarships for the best students, whereby the amount of tuition is paid in full for all four years of schooling.
For enrollment in the first year of the Tvrđava Private Gymnasium, you need the following documentation:
- Certificate of completed final exam
- Primary school certificate (sixth, seventh and eighth grade)
- Excerpt from the birth register
- Copy of the parent’s or guardian’s identity card
- Medical certificate of psychophysical ability to enroll in secondary school
- Certificate of completed primary education and upbringing.
Our main mission is to prepare children for the jobs of the future. In order to be successful, we need to educate staff who will be able to cooperate and unite, use their knowledge of technology, creativity and knowledge to create intellectual property that will contribute to personal and social progress!
With a clear focus on developing knowledge and skills for the 21st century, Tvrđava Gymnasium offers two educational profiles:
- IT major: the knowledge gained from computer science classes and practice emphasizes the development of logical and intellectual thinking, but also the development of social intelligence, which is often neglected in this educational profile.
- Social and linguistic major: the knowledge and skills that students acquire by attending this profile are of exceptional importance for further education at universities. The focus is on the development of creativity and critical thinking, but great attention is also paid to the development of entrepreneurial skills in order to create and realize their ideas more easily.
We are a school where the safety of our students comes first. Part of the enrollment procedure is a psychological assessment of each student, so that from the beginning we get to know our students and create classes in which there is a positive and friendly atmosphere. At school, students are surrounded by a team of experts who have excellent pedagogical and psychological knowledge.
In addition to respecting clearly established legal procedures for the prevention of all types of violence, if problematic situations arise, each student is approached individually in order to eliminate the cause of the problem and prevent the occurrence of any form of violence.
Because of all this, special attention is also paid to the school’s cooperation with parents. A quality dialogue between the school and parents contributes to the active and successful prevention of violence, which means that the mutual sharing of information is an important factor in the relationship itself. Advisory support is available to parents and they are invited to join preventive activities together with their children.
Our teachers/lecturers are experts in their fields, carefully selected for their knowledge and experience in working with primary and secondary school students, who are constantly investing in their further training.
The Gymnasium, with its professional team of teachers, creates a safe and stimulating environment that nurtures the unity of a culture of good behavior, moral and academic code.
Experienced and talented teachers/lecturers base their work on the active participation of all students, joint projects, discussion and critical thinking. The emphasis is not on short-term results, such as grades, but on long-term knowledge and competencies that will prepare young people for schooling at prestigious universities and the labor market.
The development of theoretical and practical skills in the modern environment of the Gymnasium, with the application of modern educational methods and information and communication technologies in teaching, is an imperative of education for the future.
The Gymnasium, in cooperation with the company Vega IT from Novi Sad, offers the possibility of scholarships for the best students by awarding one scholarship each year that covers the costs of schooling in full.
All students who are finishing the 8th grade and who have achieved outstanding success in the period from the 6th to the 8th grade have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship.
Children whose parents/guardians with net income do not exceed two average net salaries in the Republic of Serbia receive additional points in the scholarship competition.

Tvrđava Gymnasium strives to provide children with an education that is above other schooling options, which is why it has joined forces with organizations that can create a quality environment with their experience and results in which children will achieve their maximum.
Acquiring practical, applicable knowledge and developing skills needed at universities and the labor market are provided through internships and scholarships offered by the well-known IT company Vega IT from Novi Sad, in the third and fourth year of schooling for our best students. The goal is for students to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in the first two years, so that the internship gives high results.
Our adaptive learning model is tailored to the individual talents and abilities of each student. This approach enables the achievement of high results, while nurturing different interests of students. In order to achieve the given goals, the optimal number of students in the class is from 16-20 students. This number of students allows the teacher to better organize teaching activities and adapt them to each student. Each student sits alone in a desk, which is easily adaptable to organizing group work and other modern teaching methods. In the case of a large number of quality candidates, the maximum number of students per class can be 20.
Yes, the Gymnasium accepts the enrollment of students throughout the school year, if they meet our enrollment criteria. For more information, contact us via email at info@gimnazijatvrdjava.edu.rs or by calling 0640850500.
