Międzynarodowe Liceum Ogólnokształcące we Wrocławiu (International High School of Wrocław, MLO) is a private community-run (społeczny) high school in Wrocław that celebrated its tenth anniversary in the 2024-2025 school year. It is a four-year liceum ogólnokształcące for teenagers from age 15 with two routes to a leaving certificate. In grades 1-2 all students follow the school's own programme combining the Polish core curriculum with the IB Middle Years Programme, taught in Polish and English, in profile classes: biology-chemistry, mathematics-computer science-physics and psychology, all with extended English. In grades 3-4 students either continue preparing for the Polish matura or, after an additional exam, move into the IB Diploma Programme, taught in English (and in the student's mother tongue as Language A). Classes have at most 20 students. The first IB Diploma class graduated in 2017; in 2026 graduates averaged 34 points against a world average of 30.88. The high school shares a campus with two sister schools of the same founder, a bilingual primary school and an international primary school; Polish and foreign children from more than 30 countries study on the campus. Since 2018 the University of Wrocław has been the school's academic patron.

About the fees Tuition is charged; the site does not publish the amounts, which the admissions specialist provides. The annual czesne is paid in 10 instalments from September to June. Fees may change once a year by resolution of the founder's board; changes are announced by the end of January for the following school year.
Admissions Admission runs all year, to classes preparing for the Polish matura and to the IB Diploma Programme route. Steps: an initial online application, then detailed documents and a non-refundable administration fee, review of documents, a written exam on one day in Polish, Mathematics and English (winners and finalists of olympiads on the ministry list are exempt), an interview with a self-presentation in Polish and English, and separate ranking lists for the Polish and international routes. A very good level of English is required. Graduates of the sister primary schools also go through the general admission. If there are no places, the candidate is put on a waiting list, with priority for siblings of students already at the founder's schools. The school states that Polish and foreign teenagers from more than 30 countries make up its community and it teaches students' mother tongues; the site gives no separate conditions for foreigners. Moving into the IB Diploma Programme in grade 3 requires an additional exam and a minimum age of 16.
Stages and year groups Polish liceum ogólnokształcące programme (MEN core curriculum) leading to the Polish matura, grades 1-4; in grades 1-2 in all profiles it is combined with the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and taught in Polish and English; in grades 3-4, alongside the Polish route, the IB Diploma Programme (Matura Międzynarodowa) is taught in English and the student's mother tongue: 6 subject groups, a 4000-word Extended Essay, CAS of at least 150 hours, Theory of Knowledge.

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: MYP (ages 11-16), DP (ages 16-19). MYP is the middle stage, ages 11 to 16. There are no exams here either; at the end an optional electronic assessment of pupils' work is possible. DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.
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.

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 7 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.
