International schools in Warsaw

When an expatriate family moves to Warsaw the first questions are usually about which school the kids are going to attend. There are many international private schools in the city, all with different teaching methods, languages and approaches. The majority of them have English as a first or unique language, but you can also find German, French, and even Russian schools. If you plan to stay in Poland for a good few years, or your children already speak some Polish, you might even consider a reputable Polish school.
In this chapter we will give you compact information about various international schools. Claudia personally has visited all of them and gathered the unique information about the different teaching approaches, compulsory and obligatory activities, staff members, opening hours and tuition fees.

Warsaw Montessori School offers a Montessori based education programme for children age 6 -9 years old. The school has been designed with the needs of this age group in mind. English as well as Polish are the languages of instruction with internationally qualified staff. Montessori teachers recognise and encourage the uniqueness of each child and because of this the child engages in work that is suited to his own readiness and learning style. All aspects of the Polish school curriculum are covered as well as the Montessori elementary programme. Warsaw Montessori School offers a curriculum where children are given opportunities to explore and question in a child-centered enriched environment. The Montessori integrated curriculum is one of the major advantages of a Montessori education. The child discovers how concepts and real world experiences are interrelated through literature, science, art, nature, history and maths. The goal of the elementary programme is to educate a child for life and help him to develop a love of learning.
