I.A.S. is a pre-kindergarten (pre-K) through twelfth grade institution (i.e. including preschool, elementary, middle and high school) founded in 1989 as one of the first international schools in Poland. The school prides itself on a "small school" environment with limited class sizes and a student-centered teaching approach. It has a diverse student body and faculty with over 40 nationalities represented. I.A.S. is accredited through three major educational bodies: the International Baccalaureate Organization, AdvancED, and the Polish Ministry of Education, offering a diploma track for university studies in Europe, the UK, the US, and Poland, as well as other countries. AboutThe International American School of Warsaw was founded by Ishaq Hussaini in 1989 as an American English-day school, and has since evolved to serve the needs of both the Polish and International communities for grades pre-K - 12. The high school offers the IB Diploma Programme to students completing the course in grades 11 and 12. In addition, I.A.S. offers the only dual diploma system in the country to its non-IB students: the Polish Diploma (limited to Polish students passing the Polish Finishing Exams in both sixth and twelfth grades) and the International Diploma (for both Polish and international students). BuildingThe school complex consists of two buildings in close proximity. Pre-K, kindergartners, first, second, third and fourth graders are taught in the Primary School at ul. Dembego 12. Grades 5-12 occupy ul. Dembego 18. Starting with the first grade, class sizes are limited to no more than eighteen students per class. The overall student-to-teacher ratio is approximately 10:1. AccreditationThe school is accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)[1], the Polish Ministry of Education,[2] and The Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS). HighlightsI.A.S. has been rated among the top 10 best schools in Poland by the Ministry of Education; it is the only international school certified by the Polish Ministry of Education. FacultyThe school has 36 full-time faculty members, 72% of whom have graduate degrees. There are 25 native English speakers who teach English, science, social studies and history. English-speaking Polish staff teach math, advanced sciences, Polish, music, art, French, German and Spanish. The student-faculty ratio is approximately 5:1. StudentsApproximately 30% of the students are Polish; the other 70% come from over 40 nations. Among the nationalities of the students are German, Russian, Indian, Kuwaiti, Vietnamese, Korean, and American. CurriculumThe upper grades are structured by the curriculum of the International Baccalaureate Programme. Students choose six subjects, three at standard level and three at high level. The programs at the Lower and Middle schools integrate international American and British standards with the rigorous program established by the Polish Ministry of Education. Graduation requirementsThe award of the IB Diploma is contingent on the successful completion of the IB exams. Non-IB students must complete 36 credits per school year at the high school level in 11 Core Subjects including the arts: English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, geography, Polish history, and US social studies; the sciences: biology, chemistry, and physics; math and computers; religion; and physical education. International students are not required to study Polish literature, Polish history or religion. Reporting systemGrades are reported four times per academic year via a "progress report" in their student handbooks, and twice per year at the end of each semester in the student handbooks, Polish day books and official transcripts. The marking system is as follows:
Cumulative grade point averages (GPA) are determined from academic classes only (i.e. English, math, etc.). There is no weighting of grades for calculation of GPA. It is the policy of IAS not to rank students, though a student's relative standing is reported in the GPA percentile distribution. Extra- and co-curricular activities include: student council, Warsaw Volunteer Mission Hospice program, International Honor Society, dance club, theatre club, art club, yearbook, soccer, basketball, and peer counseling,.
