The ranking holds 4 schools with an international accreditation or an authorised programme. International Baccalaureate programmes are taught at 4 of them. The British Cambridge route, IGCSE and A-Level, at 1. A year of school costs from $7 489 to $11 620.
1 school publishes a monthly fee rather than a yearly one and does not say how many payments it charges over a school year. We count such a year as ten payments: that is the number charged by the schools that do state it, and that is how long the school year runs in most countries of the ranking.
We do not take reviews from maps and directories: their terms forbid it, and nobody checks the quality there. Everything below comes from the official registers of the accrediting organisations and from the schools' own sites, and every fact carries its source and the date of the check.

1 school with an international accreditation is funded by the state: III Liceum Ogólnokształcące z Oddziałami Dwujęzycznymi im. Bohaterów Westerplatte w Gdańsku.

The British Cambridge programme - IGCSE and A-Level - is taught at 1 school in Gdansk: International School of Gdańsk.
These schools stand in the suburbs, up to 12 km from the centre of Gdansk. Each card names the school's own town; they are gathered here because a family in Gdansk chooses between them as between districts of one place.
Comparing schools on a single feature is useless: the most expensive is not the best, and a famous name says nothing about what is backed by documents. The score is therefore built from nine criteria with different weights - from academic programmes and accreditation to facilities, clubs and fees relative to other schools in the country.
A criterion counts towards the score only when there is verifiable data behind it. That is why every score says how many of the nine criteria were counted: at schools in Gdansk that is 7.5 out of 9 on average. A school with a detailed site and a school with no site cannot earn an equally reliable score, and that is shown rather than hidden.
Ratings and reviews from Google Maps and other map services are not used: their terms forbid aggregation. Only verified reviews left here count. Full methodology →
