Curriculum

ITSW offers a trilingual curriculum taught in English, Polish, and a third language (Spanish, French, Chinese, or Japanese) from nursery through grade 8. In Grades 1–3, mathematics and science are taught bilingually (English with Polish or English with French), while language, literature, and social studies are taught trilingually (English and Polish with Spanish or French or Chinese or Japanese). OPOL (One Person – One Language) and daily language immersion with native-speaking teachers underpin the program. The curriculum is organized into trimester modules focused on UN Sustainable Development Goals, with international projects, field trips, and after-school workshops offered in six languages. In Grades 7–8, students prepare for the eighth-grade exam and Cambridge assessments (Checkpoint and IGCSE), with mentoring for the next stage of their education.

Student Teacher Ratio

Small class sizes; teachers are native speakers, with most staff trained in the United States.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Student Wellbeing and Agency is a core part of ITSW's approach. The Wellbeing & Student Agency program gives students space to express themselves, make decisions, and co-create their school life. The program is supported by a student government, personalized teacher care, and the presence of a wellbeing coach and specialists. It emphasizes emotional and social growth, helping students develop empathy, resilience, and agency to navigate a rapidly changing world. ITSW aims for students to feel part of a community that supports growth in harmony with themselves.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

ITSW uses three-language instruction: English, Polish, and a third language (French, Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese) across core subjects. The trilingual path uses the OPOL (One Person – One Language) method and language immersion to develop literacy and cognitive skills in all three languages. A common curriculum is delivered in English, Polish, and the chosen third language, with computer science and STEAM taught in English. Native-speaking teachers and educational specialists support students across ages. The program develops trilingual proficiency and 21st-century competencies, preparing students for local and international education. Language profiles are tailored to each student as they progress through nursery to middle school.

Country affiliation

Poland

Application fee
- A one-off registration (application) fee of PLN 1,400 is charged and is payable after signing the education contract.

Tuition fees by year group (detail and billing frequency)
- The school does not publish a liceum-specific fee schedule on its public pages; the only clear public fee figures found for Sokrates schools apply to the 2025/2026 academic year and describe a monthly tuition amount of PLN 1,690. This amount is stated as a monthly payment; the same source indicates payment is made in 12 monthly instalments (so PLN 1,690 × 12 = PLN 20,280 per year). Per-term amounts are not published for the liceum.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition indicated in public Sokrates materials for 2025/2026 is payable in advance each month, due by the 10th day of the month, paid over 12 months. Late-payment consequences are governed by the school's fee regulations.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not listed as a provision of Międzynarodowe Liceum SOKRATES; no boarding fee schedule is published for the liceum. (No boarding accommodation or boarding fee is described on the liceum's public information pages.)

Other costs and typical additional fees
- School meals: PLN 15.00 per day is quoted in public Sokrates material (2025/2026 figure).
- Uniform / school clothing: a school uniform is required; uniform ordering and pricing are handled through the school's uniform supplier (ordering portal referenced in public materials). Parents should allow for the uniform purchase cost in addition to tuition.
- Extracurricular activities, trips, exam fees, textbooks or specific course materials are not stated as included in the basic tuition in the publicly available notices; such items are commonly billed separately. Specific line-item amounts for trips, exam fees (e.g., Cambridge/IB/Cognia external exam charges) or textbooks are not publicly listed for the liceum.

Refund information
- The liceum does not publish a clear, itemised public refund policy for application fees or tuition on its public pages. Sokrates group documents indicate that precise terms for fee charging and possible refunds are set by the operator and may vary by facility; as a general practice in comparable private-school documents, application/registration fees are typically non‑refundable except where the school cannot provide a place or other specified exceptions apply — this is an inference based on group/regulatory materials rather than a liceum-specific published rule.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer is the documented method for fee payments used across Sokrates schools; the primary-school group provided dedicated bank account numbers for tuition and for meals. Parents should expect to pay tuition and meal charges by bank transfer to the account indicated by the school. No publicly documented credit-card payment option for liceum tuition was found.

Practical summary (how these figures apply to the liceum)
- The Międzynarodowe Liceum SOKRATES site does not publish a liceum-specific fee table for 2026/2027; the only explicit, recent Sokrates fee figures publicly available relate to the 2025/2026 year for Sokrates schools (monthly tuition PLN 1,690; one-off registration fee PLN 1,400; meals PLN 15/day) and should be treated as group-level published figures rather than an explicit liceum fee schedule. For the liceum, per-term, per-year-group and boarding fee lines were not published.

(If you require the liceum to publish a formal, itemised 2026/2027 fee schedule, the school's admissions office can confirm the liceum's specific tuition bands, instalment options, exact inclusions/exclusions, and any boarding arrangements where applicable.)

It also asks to declare participation in Religion/Ethics or none, and to choose an additional foreign language (German or Spanish). It collects the child's personal data and the parents' contact details to begin the admissions process.

2. After submitting the recruitment form, the candidate and their parents will be invited to a meeting with the school principal, during which information about how the school operates, the programs offered, and the organization of study will be provided. We also want to learn about the candidate's individual needs and expectations.

3. The next stage is the candidate taking an English language exam, which determines the candidate's knowledge, abilities, and linguistic potential. The results guide the admissions team in assessing language readiness and appropriate course placement. The school also notes that students may follow the Polish national curriculum under the Ministry's guidelines and to sit the Polish matura.

4. If the English exam result is positive, the candidate's documents must be provided, including the certificate from the previous class and the results of the last external examination (for Polish students, the eighth-grade exam results). The school will verify documents and finalize enrollment requirements.

5. If the recruitment result is positive, the candidate and their parents will be informed by a school representative and invited to sign an enrollment contract to confirm the admission. The signature marks enrollment in the program.

English language development is a priority for pupils whose first language is not English, with ongoing monitoring and language‑skill development within an immersive educational program. The Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, and IGCSE programmes form the core, leading to IGCSE examinations and then to either Cambridge AS/A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme for post‑16 study.
