Our mission

The geopolitical picture of the world maybe teaches us that there are borders – lines that define the territory of states, fetter the movement and suggest divisions, but the education knows no borders, the circulation of knowledge and ideas do not need neither a passport nor visa, their flow will not be stopped at any frontier. The power of knowledge is not in seperation, but in binding- of different cultures, nations, language groups … because knowledge erases boundaries and establishes relationships. Exactly because we experience knowledge as an instrument of unification, the radius of our interest and action is getting wider, and with our educational concept we are trying to include participants from around the world.

Dubrovnik Language school ” Queen Mary ” has set the direction of its development for year 2015. and the forward movement on that direction by now is very successful! We are at best direction to fully articulate the international identity of our educational community and to become recognized by the commitment to create the learning conditions with international foretoken!

Our mission: To improve the quality of language education by providing full, integral and reliable service. Qualitative complexity of our language courses, which appears as a simple, stimulating and motivating approach at the organizational level, promotes educational performance and professional development of students all around the world. Quality is an universal language we speak while we learn different languages!

The development and the philosophy of our school may be expressed through following 3 goals:

• Construction of a culture of personalized approach to each student – a special and adjusted approach to each individuality that enriches our work and expands our horizons with its uniqueness

The eternal quest, constant growth, never-ending cognition …

We’re going to attain the reputation of quality and reliable regional leader of international educational trends by cultivating the spirit of constant innovation and progress. In our business community we encourage diverse thinking because it brings changes and allows the development; we support diversity because they expand and enrich perspectives; we stimulate ideas making processes in order to create new methods, techniques and approaches because it is the only way we can ensure education in the true sense of the word – education as constant search for more perfect ways of cognition.
