Admission requirements and choice of ECEC setting
Enrolment
Enrolment in kindergarten is possible during the entire school year, provided that the kindergarten has vacancies.
Every year, the representative body of a local or regional self-government unit or the City of Zagreb publishes an annual call for admission of children to the early childhood educational programmes.
Accordingly, each kindergarten is obliged to follow the implementing regulations governing the procedure for admission to kindergarten.

Alternative secondary school programmes
In grammar and vocational schools there are sports programme class departments. Students who are actively engaged in sports and have exceptional results can enrol into sports programme class departments in grammar and vocational schools. Apart from the Sports Grammar School in Zagreb, students can enrol into sports class departments in other secondary schools. The work and classes in these institutions are adapted to the special needs of athletes.
