About international schools in Kraków, Poland

Premium international schools in Kraków are predominantly English-medium and offer a mix of curricula to suit expatriate and internationally mobile families, most commonly British (Cambridge/IGCSE with IB pathways), International Baccalaureate programmes and a smaller number of American-style or bilingual Polish - English options. Published school pages show that these institutions operate as full pre-school to secondary providers (often ages 3 - 18) and explicitly include Polish language tuition alongside other modern languages. Annual tuition varies by age and programme but published examples from Kraków schools show common annual figures in the roughly 45,000 - 75,000 PLN range, with some schools publishing monthly payment schedules that amount to around 60,000 PLN a year for primary and lower secondary. Admissions follow the Polish academic calendar with intakes focused on September; schools normally ask for an application form, recent school records and may require English and/or mathematics placement tests or interviews, so relocating families should allow time for document collection, possible translations and enquiries about EAL support and accreditation.

FAQs for Poland

Which curricula will my child find at premium international schools in Kraków?
You will commonly encounter the International Baccalaureate (IB) at one or more levels and British curriculum pathways (Cambridge/IGCSE through to IB Diploma), alongside some American-style programmes and separate bilingual or trilingual schools that combine Polish national requirements with international syllabuses. Individual schools publish their authorised programmes and leaving qualifications on their websites, so check each school for the specific programme offered at your child’s age.
How much does tuition typically cost?
Tuition at Kraków’s international schools varies by age and programme; published fee tables for local international schools show examples from around 45,000 PLN per year for kindergarten places up to about 75,000 PLN per year for many primary and secondary year groups, and some schools publish monthly billing that corresponds to roughly 60,000 PLN a year for standard school years. Always verify current annual and one-off fees (registration, deposits, exam and trip costs) on each school’s official fees page because billing schedules and what is included differ between schools.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Admissions are organised around the September school year start but many schools accept enquiries and applications year-round for mid-year entry; key steps commonly include submitting an application form, providing recent school reports and birth documentation, and completing placement tests or interviews in English and mathematics for older children. Schools usually publish their admissions process and required documents online and will set places on a rolling or cohort basis, so start enquiries several months before you need a place and ask about waitlists and transit arrangements.
What ages and stages do these schools cover?
Many premium international schools in Kraków operate from early years or kindergarten through to upper secondary, typically covering ages 3 - 18 and offering progression to pre-university programmes such as the IB Diploma. Check each school for the exact age range and whether they operate discrete early years, primary and secondary campuses or a single through-school model.
What languages are used in the classroom and what language support is available?
English is the usual medium of instruction at international schools, with Polish language classes provided for both international and local pupils and additional modern languages (for example German, French or Spanish) offered according to the school’s programme. Most schools also provide English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) or language support for students who need it; ask admissions about the level of EAL provision, entry testing and how Polish language learning is integrated.
