Transforming Education in Albania
Shkolla Iliria is a newly re-launched school in Tirana, Albania, founded with a mission to expand Christian influence and emphasize high-quality education for younger children. The school was acquired in 2024 by Hervin Fushekati, founder of ISTL (International School of Theology and Leadership, an accredited bachelor’s college for ministry), in partnership with the ISTL Foundation. Now in its second year of transformation, the school is making significant strides in educational excellence.
Currently serving 100 students from 1st through 9th grade, Shkolla Iliria stands as one of the few alternative schools offering full-day private education at an affordable price, with a foundational emphasis on integrity and excellence.
Albania’s public education system presents significant challenges that underscore the need for quality alternatives like Shkolla Iliria. State schools operate on half-day schedules from kindergarten through 12th grade, often accommodating 35-45 students per classroom. This structure creates substantial educational quality gaps, as reflected in Albania’s performance on international education assessments. Additionally, the abbreviated school day frequently leaves children unsupervised for extended periods, creating both educational and childcare challenges for families.
