The aim of the contribution is to analyse school curricula in several Croatian schools where Slovene is taught under Model C (teaching of the minority language and culture, in addition to regular classes in Croatian). In the Croatian education system, Slovene is not only a minority language, but also a foreign language learned by children who are not members of the national minority. The paper also looks at the strategy of learning foreign languages in Croatia, as well as the role of Slovene in formal education as a language of great economic, political, cultural and historical importance to the Republic of Croatia.
