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.

There are 11 international schools in Poland covering 13 curricula. The most widely offered are IB (DP) (5), IB (PYP) (4), IB (MYP) (4), Bespoke Curriculum (3), Catholic 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

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.
