Szkoła Podstawowa nr 108 im. Juliana Tuwima is a free city primary school (grades 1-8) in the Nadodrze district of Wrocław, open since 1 September 1966 and named after the poet Julian Tuwim since October that year. It is an IB World School: since January 2024 it has been authorised for the Primary Years Programme in grades 1-4, and in 2026 it gained authorisation for the Middle Years Programme in grades 5-8, describing itself as the first public primary school in Poland with the full IB path from grade 1 to grade 8. Teaching is in Polish and fully covers the Polish core curriculum: pupils receive Polish school certificates and sit the egzamin ósmoklasisty. The school offers more English hours than usual, German is also taught, and chess is part of teaching. It is a small school, most pupils are Polish, and the largest group of foreign pupils comes from Ukraine; they get extra Polish lessons. A psychologist, an educator, a special educational needs teacher, a speech therapist and a librarian work at the school.

About the fees Tuition is free: the school says pupils follow the IB programmes completely free of charge in an institution funded by the city.
Admissions This is a state catchment school: grade 1 admits first the children living in the school's catchment area, by application through the city's electronic system rekrutacje.edu.wroclaw.pl (for 2026-2027, from 18 to 24 February 2026). Children from other areas are admitted to free places in a supplementary round (19 to 23 March 2026) by criteria, and children from outside Wrocław by the criteria of the Wrocław City Council resolution of 25 November 2021. There are no entrance exams. The school says it welcomes all pupils from other cultures: the largest group of foreign pupils comes from Ukraine, and there are children from other countries; pupils without Polish get extra Polish lessons and support in class.

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), MYP (ages 11-16). 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. 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.
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 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.
