About international schools in Warsaw, Poland

Warsaw offers dozens of international and bilingual schools that serve the city’s large expatriate, diplomatic and internationally mobile Polish families. English is the dominant language of instruction, but you will also find British, American and International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP) pathways, plus French- and German-language options and several Polish - English bilingual or trilingual schools. Annual tuition varies by curriculum and facilities, with many international schools charging in the low tens of thousands of zloty per year (typical ranges are several dozen thousand PLN) and premium campuses charging noticeably more; budgets should also allow for registration, transport, meals, exam and extracurricular costs. Admissions are commonly handled on a rolling basis rather than a single intake, older children usually sit English and maths placement assessments, and schools will tell you what documentary translations or proof of previous schooling they require.

FAQs for Poland

What curricula are available in Warsaw’s international schools and how do they differ?
Families can expect British, American and International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP and DP) programmes to be the most prevalent, alongside a smaller number of French- and German-system schools and bilingual models. The IB focuses on inquiry and international-mindedness across age phases, British schools commonly follow the English National Curriculum through IGCSEs or a pathway to IB/A-levels, and American-style schools often lead to an American high-school diploma sometimes alongside IB; the choice affects assessment style, subject breadth and university preparation.
How much should we budget for tuition and extra costs?
Tuition levels vary a lot by school, curriculum and campus, but many international schools in Warsaw charge in the range of several dozen thousand PLN per year; some premium schools are noticeably higher. Ask each school for a full fee schedule because additional compulsory costs - registration/enrolment fees, English support, transport, meals, examination or graduation fees and trips - are often billed separately.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Most international schools in Warsaw operate rolling admissions and can place children throughout the year where space allows, though September is the busiest intake. Expect an application form, proof of previous school records (often translated by a sworn translator if issued abroad), and age-appropriate assessments or interviews; older students commonly undertake English and mathematics assessments and subject interviews for upper years.
Do schools provide language support and what about bilingual education?
Yes - many international schools offer English language support (EAL/ESL) for newcomers and teach Polish as a language subject or as part of a bilingual pathway. There are also explicitly bilingual or trilingual schools where tuition is split between languages; check how much curriculum content is taught in each language and whether support is available to help children transition academically.
What practical checks should we do when comparing schools in Warsaw?
Confirm the curriculum and accreditation, typical class sizes, and the school’s approach to language support and special educational needs, because these affect daily experience and placement. Also look for clear fee schedules and payment terms, pastoral care and safeguarding policies, sample timetables and university or secondary progression information so you can match a school’s structure to your child’s stage and long-term plans.
