摘要：Slovenia has three private international schools (American,British,and French),as well as the International Department at Danila Kumar public elementary school. In addition to the national elementary school program,the latter school conducts two accredited international programmes,the Primary Years Programme – PYP,and the Middle Years Programme – MYP (one international programme at two levels – IB programme),which are run under the auspices of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO),an international non-profit educational organisation. The private international schools offer programmes accredited in their own countries,while the International Department at Danila Kumar Primary School offers an international programme accredited by the global network of IBO schools. This paper draws comparisons in the performance of an international and a Slovenian elementary school,taking as its case-study a school in Slovenia which runs the two programmes side by side. There are statistically significant differences between the two sets of pupils’ views on the quality of lessons,the teaching staff and relations with theirpeers,with both groups identifying a lack of contact and cooperation with pupils from the other programme. There are also several more noticeable differences in the level of knowledge between the two groups,although these differences could not be established as statistically significant. We examine the international school programme,which was positively assessed by the parents of children attending the programme,in somewhat greater depth.
