K12 student recruitment in Poland
With 135,000 pupils attending primary schools (ages 7-15) in Warsaw and 45,000 in the Gdansk area, the demand for skill development programs such as IB, A-level, Abitur, US Diploma, and more among Polish students is substantial.
In Warsaw, 40,000 pupils and in Gdansk, 10,000 are enrolled in private schools offering English instruction or an extended English curriculum. Graduating from primary schools with at least B1 language proficiency equips children to actively engage in English-medium activities and programs abroad.
Warsaw boasts 71 non-public high schools, including 12 international institutions offering IBDP, British A-levels, or IGCSE curriculum. In Gdansk, 7 private bilingual high schools, two of which are the first IB schools in the country, cater to students seeking overseas learning opportunities and university preparation.
From 2013 to 2023, private secondary school enrollment (ages 15-19) surged by 300%, indicating growing parental interest in alternatives to state educational curricula, both domestically and internationally.
