About international schools in Poland

International schools in Poland are clustered in larger cities such as Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk and Poznań and typically teach in English while offering a mix of curricula: the International Baccalaureate, British (English National Curriculum) and American programmes are common, and many schools run bilingual Polish - English streams or language tracks in German or French. Annual tuition varies by city, age and curriculum; a typical headline figure often quoted for international schools in Poland is around PLN 45,000 a year with most schools charging roughly between PLN 34,600 and PLN 56,000, though Warsaw campuses and senior/IB years can be noticeably higher, and families should budget separately for registration or capital charges, transport, meals and exam fees. Admissions usually operate on a rolling basis but the main intake aligns with the Polish school year (late summer, August/September); competitive year groups can fill by late winter or spring, and most schools use placement tests, language assessments and a short interview or taster day to place new pupils. For practical context, public schooling in Poland is free but delivered in Polish, so many relocating families who need English-medium provision choose private international or bilingual schools; some international schools are also recognised by the Polish Ministry of Education and can offer national qualifications such as the Matura alongside international credentials.

Choosing an international school in Poland

Curricula

There are 6 international schools in Poland covering 7 curricula. The most widely offered are Bespoke Curriculum (3), IB (PYP) (2), IB (MYP) (1), British Curriculum (1), IPC (International Primary Curriculum) (1). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Fees & what they cover

Annual tuition across Poland runs from about PLN 1,000 to PLN 60,000, averaging roughly PLN 16,441. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Poland run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

Boarding

Most schools here are day schools; check individual profiles for any boarding options.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Poland we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.

FAQs for Poland

What curricula will my child find at international schools in Poland?
You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British curricula (English National Curriculum to IGCSE/A-level equivalents or IGCSE/IB pathways) and US-style or American diploma programmes. Many schools combine an international curriculum with bilingual Polish units or offer separate German-, French- or other-language streams, depending on the city and school policy.
How much should we budget for tuition and other costs?
Headline annual tuition at international schools in Poland is often reported around PLN 45,000, with most schools clustered in a roughly PLN 34,600 - 56,000 band, but senior years and Warsaw campuses can be substantially higher. Parents should also budget for one-off registration or capital fees, school meals, transport, learning-support top-ups and external exam or registration charges, which commonly add another 10 - 20% (or more) to the headline figure.
When should we apply and how competitive is admissions?
Applications are accepted year-round at many international schools (rolling admissions), but the main intake is for the new academic year in late summer; the most sought-after entry points (early primary and the start of IGCSE/IB courses) can fill by late winter or spring, so it pays to apply early. Expect schools to request recent school reports, run English and maths placement tests or taster days and hold a short family interview; some schools open applications a year in advance and keep waiting lists for full year groups.
What language support is available if my child does not speak Polish or English?
Most English-medium international schools provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and staged integration for non-native speakers, and bilingual schools will typically teach some subjects in Polish while protecting an English stream. Families who prefer full Polish instruction can use local public schools (which are free) and many municipalities offer extra Polish language support for foreign children, but this requires readiness for immersion in Polish-medium lessons.
What should we look for when choosing an international school in Poland?
Check the curriculum and progression routes (e.g. whether the school leads to the IB Diploma, IGCSE/IGCSE-to-A-level or an American diploma), accreditation or recognition by the Polish Ministry of Education, class sizes, pastoral and language-support provision, and the full fee schedule showing extras. Also visit for a tour or taster day where possible, ask about admissions timelines and waiting lists for the year groups you need, and compare practical matters such as transport, school day hours and how the school supports mid-year arrivals.
