About international schools in Kraków, Poland

IB Curriculum international schools in Kraków commonly offer one or more IB programmes (Primary Years, Middle Years and/or the Diploma) alongside bilingual Polish - English tracks or national-curriculum pathways, with English as the primary medium in most international classes. Annual tuition at international schools in the city varies by age and school but typically falls within a broad band rather than a single figure; families should budget for tuition in the tens of thousands of zloty plus extra charges for registration, meals and activities. Admissions are often rolling for younger years, while entry to pre-DP/DP phases commonly involves an earlier application window, language testing and interviews, so planning several months ahead is advisable. Relocating families should confirm the language-support offer for non-Polish speakers, whether the school operates a bilingual Polish pathway, and the paperwork needed for enrolment and residence formalities.

FAQs for Poland

Which IB programmes are available in Kraków international schools and at what ages do they run?
Many Kraków international schools deliver one or more IB programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for early/primary ages, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for lower secondary, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for the final two years of secondary education. Availability varies by school - some offer the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum while others provide only the DP or combine IB with a national curriculum - so check each school’s authorisations.
How much should we expect to pay for an IB education in Kraków?
Tuition varies by school and year group; recent market summaries show typical annual fees for international schools in Kraków spread across a range that families should verify with each provider, and additional costs such as enrolment fees, meals, transport and extracurriculars are common. To prepare a realistic budget, request the current fee schedule and a full list of extras from schools you are considering because published ranges can differ substantially by age and by whether the school is non-profit or private.
What language(s) of instruction and language support can families expect?
English is the usual medium in international IB classes, while many Kraków schools run bilingual Polish - English pathways, offer Polish as a taught language, and provide mother-tongue or supported self-taught options at Diploma level where demand exists. Schools commonly assess incoming pupils’ English and may offer targeted language support for learners joining from non-English backgrounds, so confirm the extent and cost of that provision during visits.
When should we begin the admissions process and what does it typically involve?
For younger years many schools accept applications year-round, but entry to pre-DP and DP classes frequently follows an earlier cycle with October - spring application windows at some institutions and selection steps such as written tasks, language testing and interviews. Expect schools to request previous school reports, an application form and sometimes a registration fee; start enquiries at least three to six months before your preferred start date to allow time for testing, transfer paperwork and any visa or residence formalities.
What should relocating parents prioritise when visiting IB schools in Kraków?
Check the school’s IB authorisations (which programmes and which age ranges), observe the language balance in classrooms, ask about the size and composition of the student body, and request recent sample timetables and a full fee breakdown including extras. Also ask about transition support for arriving pupils, university guidance for DP students if relevant, and practical matters such as transport options and how the school handles local administrative requirements for foreigners.
