School Background

Prishtina High School was started more than 11 years ago to provide Kosovar Albanians  with a real chance at a good education that would provide them a "real chance at success." This small country of less than 2 million suffered a lot under a war 20 years ago. We view our school as a strategic effort of nation building and an opportunity to be a "salt and light" witness to our students.

To accomplish this:

  • We provide students with resources they need to develop appropriate grade-level skills, understanding and performance in all academic areas.
  • We provide parents with multiple ways to examine and discuss the academic and social progress of their children.
  • We provide teachers with professional training and resources they need for exemplary teaching.
  • We provide opportunities for our school to interact with the larger community of Kosovo (other schools, community leaders, businesses and social organizations), so that our students participate in a more comprehensive education.
  • We provide a pleasant, caring, stimulating environment for students to achieve full potential in their academic, creative, personal, physical and moral development so that they can make their best contribution to society.
