Leading International High Schools in Poland

Poland today offers an increasingly wide range of international schools designed to meet the needs of families from around the world. These include respected high schools offering the International Baccalaureate, A Levels or the American High School Diploma, as well as schools following British, American, Canadian or French systems of education.

Each institution has its own educational philosophy, academic offer and student profile. What they share, however, is a common goal: to provide young people with an environment in which they can develop their talents, gain international experience and prepare for study at the world’s leading universities. For foreign families, choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions connected with relocating to Poland. It is therefore worth becoming familiar with institutions that have long enjoyed the trust and recognition of the international community.
