WELCOME TO
CHE DESIGN SCHOOL BELGRADE
Good design is obvious. CHE – Creative Humanistic Education — this is the motto that embodies the core values of our school.

At our school, we teach how to create. We explain design in a clear, accessible way to people of all ages and backgrounds. If you have a Creator within you, you don’t need an art school background or an impressive portfolio to begin your journey into a new profession.
Our educational modules are designed to provide in-depth immersion in the history and theory of design while actively applying all acquired knowledge and skills in practice.

The school was founded by Kirill and Elena Cheburashkina and Sergey Helmianov—educators and designers with 20 years of experience.
SCHOOL

Public transport stops and several underground parking garages are within walking distance of the school.
