The director of the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Mrs Ivona Jevtić, and the former director of the Museum, Dr Branimir Jovanović, held a couple of lectures in London and Cambridge in early November 2024. Prof. Goran Mašanović, a member of the Educational Board of our school, met with Mrs Jevtić, Dr Jovanović, and representatives of Sajko Media&Events during their stay in London. During this meeting, they discussed the organisation of an event dedicated to Nikola Tesla at our school, which would take place in 2025. Mrs Jevtić and Dr Jovanović presented gifts to our school and invited Prof. Mašanović to visit them in Belgrade.

On Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th October, we had a pleasure of welcoming Jelena Angelovski, the author of the novel “Mika”.

On Saturday, Jelena presented her first novel “Mika” to the audience at the Bishop Nikolaj Hall. Through the excerpts from the novel she read, the audience learnt about the problem the main character, Mika, faces. He wonders “Who am I?”, after his best friend tells him he is “No one”. Mika is a boy from the Balkans who is growing up abroad and one of the main topics in the novel is his search for identity.

We are pleased to announce the book launch event for the novel “Mika” with the author Jelena Angelovski. During the event, we will talk about the novel, our heritage language and bilingualism in our children growing up abroad.

Jelena Angelovski is a mum, a Serbian language teacher and an author for children growing up bilingually.

“Mika” is Jelena’s first novel, but also potentially the first major Serbian novel in modern times focussed on the topic of growing up abroad.

Join us in conversation on this topic that is common to all of us.

This event is both for children and grown-ups.

St Sava Church School is a vibrant, friendly school which this year celebrates 62 years of teaching Serbian language. It offers both class-based and online Serbian lessons to children of between five and twelve years old.

Our curriculum is rich and broad. We build on programmes developed in Serbia and accredited by the Serbian Ministry of Education. The programs are interactive and also provide a platform for children to independently practice their Serbian at home. In addition, we are fortunate to have teachers that have qualified in both the UK and Serbia. With their collective experience, knowledge, and understanding of child development and language acquisition, our teaching staff supports the diverse needs of pupils from 5 years onwards, whatever their level of Serbian. All our pupils are taught the Cyrillic script, in a style adapted to meet their individual needs.

Central to the St Sava School ethos is the continued building and development of our community. Friendships are broadened and solidified by school outings as well as by performances highlighting the children which happen on special days such as St. Sava’s Day and Vidovdan. Furthermore, our school is supported by an active and motivated Parents Association whose hard work is contributing to the development of our classroom facilities.

Most importantly, our children enjoy coming to the school which is most important for their learning, engagement and motivation.
