Primary School “King Alexander I” in Gornji Milanovac

About the School

The Primary School “King Alexander I” is the School with the longest tradition in Gornji Milanovac. The School was the founding origin of all other primary schools in the city. The first school in the city changed its name several times during its history. Before World War II, when the School was built it carried the name of the first King of Yugoslavia. Celebration on the occasion of building and opening of the new School was attended by HM King Alexander I Karadjordjevic in 1933. There were numerous articles about that event in the media and one in a French newspaper. After the World War Two the School carried the name “The Primary School“. In 1964 the School was divided into the First and the Second Primary School, thus the School changed name to “The First Primary School”.

However, this name did not last long. The School changed its name again to the Primary School “Partisan Battalion of Takovo” in 1969 on the occasion of twenty-five anniversary of the liberation. In the memory of its founder, HM King Alexander I, the school staff decided to re-establish the original name of the School to the Primary School “King Alexander I” on 18 December 2003.

What is unique about this school is that teaching is taking place in two buildings (for junior and senior grades). The Primary School in Brdjani, as well as the separate classes in Lunjevica, Jablanica and Semedrazi joined the School in 1983. The School is also educating children with special needs. In the School there are two specialised classes from first to eight grades for children with special needs from the municipality.

The School’s financial resources are provided by the Ministry of Education and Municipality of Gornji Milanovac. The School also received donations from government of Norway, the Danish Council and the World Bank.

This educational and pedagogical institution is preparing students for future life for more than a century. Pupils and teachers are the most important resources of this School and they are the backbone of the local community and society.
