Polish British Academy, Warsaw

The school aims to provide a happy, stimulating, and healthy environment where each child is encouraged to achieve their best. It emphasizes the development of responsible, confident, and independent young people who are prepared for both local and international society. The school fosters a strong sense of community through partnership with parents and maintains a safeguarding policy to ensure all students feel secure and heard.

The school implements a dual-curriculum approach, integrating the British National Curriculum and the Polish National Curriculum. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for the Reception class (Year 0) focuses on six areas, including communication, mathematics, and physical development. For older years, the curriculum covers subjects such as English, mathematics, science (biology, chemistry, physics), geography, history, computer science, music, art, and physical education. The school also prepares students for Polish national exams and Cambridge English exams.

The school provides psychologist support as part of its standard offering. Additionally, the staff includes a Head of Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, school counsellors, and speech therapists to support student development. Teachers differentiate instruction to meet individual needs, and specific learning plans are created for students for whom English is not a mother tongue.

The school requires a one-off, non-refundable registration fee of 4,000 PLN for new students, or 3,500 PLN for graduates of the Kids’ Academy Preschool. Annual tuition fees for the 2026/2027 academic year are 44,774 PLN for years 0–3 and 53,731 PLN for years 4–8. Tuition can be paid in 2, 4, 6, or 10 installments, and sibling discounts are available. The fee covers childcare from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., implementation of both curricula, workshops, psychologist support, and two daily meals (breakfast and snack).

The academic year is divided into two terms. The first term runs from September 1 to mid-February, including breaks for National Day of Education, Christmas, and New Year. The second term begins in mid-February and concludes on June 26, with breaks for Easter, national holidays in May, and Corpus Christi. Winter and summer breaks offer optional "Winter at School" and "Summer at School" programs for interested students.

The school operates across three locations on Wiertnicza Street in Warsaw. The building at 75 Wiertnicza houses classrooms, a music room, a library, an IT lab, a canteen, and a nurse’s office, alongside a playground and a professional artificial grass pitch that is covered by a balloon during winter. The building at 43 Wiertnicza, constructed in 2018, serves students in years 4–8 and features modern classrooms, a canteen, and outdoor gym equipment. The building at 36a Wiertnicza is dedicated to students in grades 0–1, providing a specialized environment for early school adaptation with its own playground.

The school offers a range of extracurricular activities available for an additional fee. These include sports, arts, and various workshops designed to complement the core curriculum. Students also participate in school trips, volunteering opportunities, and competitions. After-school care is provided as part of the daily schedule until 6:00 p.m.
