Richmond Park Schools (RPS) proudly announce a major achievement, becoming the first and
only educational institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina to receive the esteemed British Schools
Overseas (BSO) accreditation. This international recognition is awarded by the UK Department
for Education to schools that meet rigorous British standards in all areas of academic and
operational excellence.
The BSO accreditation process involves a thorough inspection every three years, assessing
teaching quality, student outcomes, school infrastructure, and overall learning environments.
RPS Sarajevo has successfully completed the first accreditation cycle, while schools in Tuzla
and Bihać are preparing for their inspections in the upcoming phase.
For RPS students and their families, this milestone means access to internationally aligned
education that opens doors to top universities and career opportunities across the globe. The
Cambridge curriculum, integrated with local education standards and taught in English, ensures
that students benefit from both a global outlook and a strong academic foundation.
More than just academic recognition, the BSO accreditation reaffirms RPS’s dedication to
holistic development such as fostering confidence, critical thinking, and life skills alongside
academic growth. The schools also take pride in their inclusive, multicultural environment where
students of diverse backgrounds thrive in a setting of mutual respect and global citizenship.
This achievement is the result of years of continuous improvement and the unwavering
commitment of the RPS staff, students, and families. It positions Richmond Park Schools as a
leader in education not just in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in the wider region.
“The British accreditation is a testament to our commitment to providing world-class
education based on British standards, and we are certainly proud to offer our
students the best possible learning opportunities,” said Mr. Timothy Fisher, a
representative of the RPS founders.
With over 25 years of educational excellence, 11 campuses, and more than 1,500 students
currently enrolled, Richmond Park Schools continue to shape bright futures through innovation,
quality, and care.
