What X. gimnazija Ivan Supek does

X. gimnazija Ivan Supek is a public four-year secondary school (gynasium) located at Ulica Vjekoslava Klaića 7 in Zagreb, Croatia. Founded in 1961 and renamed in 2008 in honour of the Croatian physicist Ivan Supek, it is the largest gymnasium in Croatia, serving approximately 1,084 students across 41 classes with 108 employees (86 teachers, 4 professional associates and 18 non-teaching staff). The institution operates under the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education as a government state entity (javna škola).

The school delivers three core programmes: a General Gymnasium track, a Science and Mathematics Gymnasium track, and a Bilingual Programme (Croatian-English) launched in 2007 that currently spans about 11 classes and 270 students. It also operates as Cambridge International Centre HR006 — the first public school in Croatia authorised to administer IGCSE, AS and A level exams since 29 October 2008 — and is a member of the PASCH network (Goethe-Institut) since February 2009. Supporting offerings include multiple Erasmus+ projects, eTwinning collaborations, the BioX / #ASOCEU programme, the "School for Climate" project, a student cooperative ("Desetka"), and a broad extracurricular catalogue (drama, debate, choir, journalism, sports, volunteering). The technology stack is standard educational infrastructure: e-Dnevnik, e-Matica, Microsoft Teams, CARNet, and a school website; no proprietary platform or AI components are evidenced.

The business model is structured around three streams: (1) core government funding from the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education for free public secondary education, (2) partial tuition for the bilingual programme, priced as a recurring student fee, and (3) Cambridge exam fees charged per exam (€113–€200 for school students and €250–€350 for private candidates, plus €46.45–€100 for practical components). Distribution is via the national admissions system for regular students, supplemented by an open-house and education-fair funnel for prospective eighth graders, and direct registration for Cambridge exam private candidates. The school generates no commercial revenue and is not a candidate for PE/VC/M&A investment.
