About international schools in Poznań, Poland

Poznań’s international-school sector is compact - only a handful of English-medium options serve the city and nearby suburbs - so families often choose from a small set of schools rather than a large market. The most common curricula you will find are the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British/International Primary (EYFS/IPC/Cambridge) programmes and Montessori models, with instruction mainly in English and Polish language classes commonly included. Annual tuition for international schools in Poznań typically falls in the mid-tens of thousands of zloty; publicly available school schedules show many programmes charging the equivalent of roughly PLN 25,000 - 35,000 a year with additional one-off application or enrolment charges and varied instalment plans. Admissions follow the Polish school calendar (the academic year starts in September), places can be limited so book visits early, and most schools ask for previous school records plus an English placement or assessment for non-native speakers.

FAQs for Poland

How do IB and British/Cambridge curricula differ for children moving to Poznań?
The IB (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) is an inquiry-based international programme that emphasises conceptual learning and international mindedness, while British/Cambridge programmes typically follow a more content-based national sequence with external exams at key stages. Both approaches are offered in Poznań schools; choose the style that fits your child’s learning preferences and future plans, for example whether you want a diploma focused on independent research (IB DP) or earlier exam preparation (Cambridge/IGCSE).
What should I budget for tuition and extra costs in Poznań?
Published fee tables from Poznań schools show annual tuition commonly in the range of about PLN 25,000 - 35,000 for full-time primary and secondary places, but exact charges vary by year group and school. Expect additional costs such as one-off application/enrolment fees of a few thousand zloty at some schools, IB examination fees where applicable, and charges for lunches, uniforms, trips and after-school activities.
When should I apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Schools in Poznań operate on the Polish academic year with a September start, so many families begin enquiries and visits in the spring or early summer; some schools accept applications year-round for mid-term starts if places are available. Typical admissions steps are initial contact and school tour, submission of an application form and records, and an English placement or readiness assessment for newcomers, with some schools holding a short interview or trial day.
What ages and stages do Poznań’s international schools cover?
The city’s international provision ranges from early years and primary through to upper secondary, but not every school covers all stages: some are primary only, while others offer a full K - 12 pathway including the IB Diploma. Check each school’s published age range before applying to confirm continuity if you want your child to stay at the same school through to graduation.
Is instruction in English and will my child receive Polish language teaching?
Most international schools in Poznań teach primarily in English and include Polish language lessons or a bilingual strand to help pupils meet national requirements and integrate locally. Schools also commonly provide EAL (English as an Additional Language) support or dedicated integration classes to help non-native speakers catch up.
What should parents look for on school visits in Poznań?
On a visit, check whether the school is accredited for the curriculum it claims, ask about class sizes and specialist support (EAL, SEN), review recent fee schedules and payment terms, and enquire how the school supports transfer students academically and socially. Also look at daily routines, extracurricular options and how Polish language and citizenship needs are met so you can judge fit for your child’s long-term pathway.
