Einstein International School is a private primary school (Niepubliczna Szkoła Podstawowa) in Gdynia, opened in 2022 on ul. Kazimierza Górskiego. It was founded by the two creators of the Calineczka and Mały Einstein preschools in Gdańsk and Gdynia, the first of which opened in 2009. In June 2023 the school and three Gdynia Mały Einstein preschools formed the Einstein International School campus and began the IB candidacy period; it is now an authorised IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme, and says it is the only one in Gdynia. The curriculum is Polish (podstawa programowa) delivered in an international form: inquiry-based learning under the PYP, bilingual teaching in Polish and English, Spanish, philosophy for children, reading with the British Jolly Phonics programme, and critical thinking tools. Children work with class teachers, English-speaking and bilingual PYP teachers and educational coaches. The school is planned as an eight-year school; for the 2026-2027 school year it admits up to grade 4, and the website names grades from zero to 5.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: PYP (ages 3-12). PYP is the primary stage, ages 3 to 12. It is not a set of subjects but a frame for the whole school: learning is built around lines of inquiry, and there are no exams at the end.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
