ITHS - Information Technology High School

What ITHS - Information Technology High School does

ITHS (Srednja škola za informacione tehnologije) is a private secondary school in Belgrade, Serbia, founded in 2011 as the first specialized IT high school in the country. It operates from the Comtrade Technology Center in Novi Beograd under the umbrella of Visoka škola strukovnih studija za informacione tehnologije (ITS), with co-founders LINK group and Comtrade providing technology infrastructure and industry connections. The school offers four-year programs for IT Technician, Multimedia Technician, and Economic Technician (launching 2026/27), plus a Level V Specialization in Computer Hardware aligned to the Serbian National Qualifications Framework (NOKS). Tuition ranges from €3,500 to €8,000 per program with five financial support programs offering 10–100% reductions for talented students.

ITHS delivers instruction through a proprietary educational technology stack including the LINK eLearning platform, electronic notebooks on tablets, interactive whiteboards, an iOS/Android mobile application, and a 24/7 electronic gradebook for parents. Students gain practical experience through the Project Center, working on real client projects alongside Comtrade IT teams, and can participate in extracurricular offerings such as the LINK eSports Association, robotics, microlearning video production, and 11 Erasmus+ international exchange projects. Multilingual enrollment pages in English, Russian, and Chinese support international student recruitment, and a partnership with Via Academica provides access to 100+ partner universities abroad.

The school's revenue model is primarily subscription/recurring tuition, supplemented by professional services revenue from elective courses, extracurricular activities, extended education programs, and transfer student programs. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through online applications, phone and messaging consultations (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram), in-person campus visits, and education fairs. ITHS is part of the LINK edu Alliance alongside ITS and the Faculty of Contemporary Arts (FSU), enabling a continuous academic pathway from secondary through tertiary education within the same founding ecosystem.
