Our Journey

From a Single Vision to a National Education Leader

Since its founding in 1996, Richmond Park Education has grown into one of the leading private education networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, offering comprehensive, high-quality education from preschool to university level. With campuses in Sarajevo, Bihać, Tuzla, Cazin, and Živinice the group includes 12 institutions, including preschools, primary and secondary schools. Currently, more than 1,800 students from 36 nationalities are enrolled in Richmond Park Schools.

The schools focus not only on academic excellence but also on character building, innovation, and social responsibility. Students benefit from Cambridge curriculum enriched with local curriculum delivered in English, along with rich extracurricular offerings and a safe, nurturing campus environment.
