About international schools in Poland

IB schools in Poland form a distinct group of international providers that commonly offer one or more elements of the IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes) and are concentrated in larger cities such as Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk. Most operate as English-medium schools or bilingual Polish - English schools, with Polish taught as the host-country language and other modern languages offered alongside. Annual tuition varies by city, age and facility level - headline fees in major centres can run from the low tens of thousands of zloty to well over PLN 100,000, while many schools sit in a mid range around PLN 33,000 - 55,000; parents should also budget for registration, capital levies, transport and school trips. Admissions are generally organised around the Polish school year (which normally begins on 1 September) so the main application window for a September start is often in the winter/spring months, though individual schools commonly offer rolling or mid-year places where space allows.

FAQs for Poland

Which IB programmes are offered and what ages do they cover?
IB schools in Poland may offer any combination of the IB continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for approximately ages 3 - 12, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for roughly 11 - 16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for students aged about 16 - 19. Schools vary in whether they deliver the full continuum or only individual programmes, so check each school’s authorised programmes when you compare options.
How much should we expect to pay at an IB international school in Poland?
Tuition varies substantially by location, school size and facilities; published city guides and school schedules show headline annual tuition bands from the mid-tens of thousands of PLN up to and above PLN 100,000 in the most expensive providers, while many schools report mid-range tuitions around PLN 33,000 - 55,000. Families should also expect additional one-off and annual costs such as registration or enrolment fees, development levies, transport, device programmes and residential trips, which can add materially to the headline fee.
When should we apply and how do admissions work?
The Polish school year normally begins on 1 September, so the principal intake for international schools is the September start and many schools run their main application and assessment window in the winter and spring for places the following September. That said, international schools frequently operate rolling admissions and accept mid-year starts if places are available, and older applicants are commonly asked to sit an entrance assessment and provide recent school reports and proof of language level.
What language support and Polish instruction can we expect?
Most IB international schools in Poland teach the curriculum in English, but Polish is widely offered either as a compulsory host-country subject, as Polish language and literature for native speakers, or as Polish language acquisition for non-native speakers; some schools run formal bilingual Polish - English pathways. Schools also commonly deliver additional language options (for example French, German or Spanish) and provide English-language support for arriving pupils who need it.
What should we check when comparing IB schools in Poland?
Look first at which IB programmes the school is authorised to deliver and whether it is in good standing with IB authorisation and any international accreditations the school cites; also review the school’s language-support provision, class sizes, pastoral care and how the DP is resourced if you have a secondary-age child. Ask for recent sample timetables, details of extra fees, admissions criteria and how the school supports transitions to local or international universities so you can match a school’s offer to your family’s plans.
