About international schools in Poland

Premium international schools in Poland are concentrated in major cities such as Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław and Gdańsk and typically offer English-medium education alongside Polish - English bilingual pathways; the most common curricula families will meet are British (EYFS/IGCSE/A-levels), American-style programmes and the International Baccalaureate at various stages. Published tuition for premium schools in Warsaw and other large cities is commonly in the tens of thousands of zloty a year, with many schools reporting mid-range published fees and a spread above and below that point; extras (transport, lunches, exams and activity fees) add materially to the published figure. Admissions usually follow the local academic year (schools start in August/September) but many schools also manage rolling entry and waiting lists, so families often begin enquiries many months in advance. Relocating families should confirm language support and EAL provision, check whether the school’s diploma is recognised locally if they plan to remain in Poland, and budget separately for non-tuition costs and school-specific enrolment fees.

FAQs for Poland

What international curricula are commonly available in premium schools in Poland, and how do they differ?
The main options are the British curriculum (leading to IGCSEs and A-levels), American-style programmes and the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP). The British pathway is structured around externally examined stages and is familiar to families moving from the UK, the American model is often credit- and grade-based with flexibility in course selection, and the IB is an internationally standardised continuum valued by families who expect frequent moves or who want an internationally recognised pre-university qualification.
How much should we expect to pay for a premium international school in Poland, and are there extra costs?
Published annual tuition at premium international schools in Warsaw and other large Polish cities typically sits in the tens of thousands of zloty, with many schools clustered in a mid-range and some programmes at the higher end; exact fees vary by school, campus size and curriculum. Families should also budget for extras that are commonly charged separately, such as registration or enrolment deposits, school lunches, transport, uniforms, external exam fees and English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) support.
When should we start the admissions process if we plan to move to Poland?
Start early: most advisors and schools recommend beginning enquiries 6 - 18 months before your intended start date, because popular year groups can fill and some schools operate structured rounds with waiting lists. While many schools accept in-year transfers or operate rolling admissions, beginning the application and assessment process well before your move gives you more choices and time to arrange visas, transcripts and language testing.
What language support can we expect and how much Polish will be taught?
English is the primary language of instruction in most premium international schools, and most schools offer Polish language lessons and additional modern languages; many also run bilingual streams that combine the Polish national curriculum with English-medium provision. Schools commonly provide EAL programmes for learners who need extra language support, but the intensity and availability of EAL and Polish-language options vary, so check each school’s published language support and how quickly they integrate new arrivals.
What should relocating families look for when comparing premium international schools in Poland?
Evaluate how well the curriculum matches your child’s next steps (IB, British A-levels or US credits), the school’s EAL support and pastoral provision, and practical matters such as location, transport, typical class size and the true annual cost including extras. Also check accreditation or authorisation (for example IB authorisation), recent inspection or accreditation reports, and the school’s track record on transitions for international families to understand how it supports settling-in and onward university progression.
