International School, Kraków

The International School of Krakow is the fastest
growing International School in the region. We are
certain that this is directly related to our
democratic governance, emphasis on children and
not-for-profit status. We invest all of our resources
in our students and we're very proud of our offerings.




Our curriculum is an international one with the PYP
for Nursery through age 12 and the International High
School Curriculum for ages 13 through 18. We have
gifted extension programs across all ages with Johns
Hopkins University, The University of Nebraska and
Stetson University in addition to offering AP,
A-Level, CNED, and IGCSE coursework. We have designed
our offerings to meet the needs of an international
population for re-integration into education systems
other than our own. In other words, our goal is to
prepare students for success wherever they may come
from and where ever they're planning to go.



ISK was established by the American School of Warsaw
in in 1993. In 1998, the growth of the (American)
International School of Krakow allowed it to operate
as an independent institution. In 2004, as a
reflection of our changing student population, we
adopted an international program to best meet the
needs of our students. In doing so, we became the
International School of Krakow. In 2005, ISK joined
forces with the Krakow International School Project,
an initiative of the of the region's leading
international companies to promote the development of
international education. We are currently working on
expanding our program through cooperative educational
endeavors with some of Krakow's finest institutions of
higher education.



ISK has an open Admissions policy for students ages 3
to 18 (grades Nursery to High School) who can benefit
from our program. All instruction is in English and a
command of the English language becomes a prerequisite
in the older grades. Admission is condition on a
review of a student's current school records, and
final registration is completed when we have received
the application form, student's school records and
medical forms.



ISK is housed in a spacious and charming 18th century
historical building, which has been renovated to
include modern computer labs, classrooms and common
areas. Our current student body numbers over 73
students and represents 16 nations. ISK currently has
a student-to-teacher ratio of two to one. Our school
community is extremely strong with generous parent
involvement.



We also have information available through the US
Department of Sate, the British Polish Chamber of
Commerce and the American Chamber of Commerce.We are
supported in our pursuit of school development by the
US Consulate General, German Consulate General,
Austrian Consulate General, Danish Consulate/ Nordic
