Wrocław Cosmopolitan School is a private international school on ul. Fabryczna in Wrocław for children aged 3 to 18: Early Years, Primary (ages 5-11), Secondary (ages 11-14) and High School with Cambridge IGCSE and A Level (ages 14-18). The core is the English National Curriculum, while the school also fulfils the Polish core curriculum and calls itself the first school in Poland to deliver the Polish programme entirely in English. All subjects except Polish and foreign languages are taught in English; Polish is studied either as a foreign language or as the full programme for native speakers. Students sit the egzamin ósmoklasisty at the end of Year 9, IGCSE at the end of Year 11 and A Level at the end of Year 13. Under Polish law it combines a private preschool, a szkoła podstawowa and a liceum with public-school rights. Teachers are specialists from the UK, Ireland, the USA, South Africa and Australia; students come from more than 30 nationalities. Assessment uses no points or percentages: progress is tracked in digital portfolios. The preschool is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.

Admissions The school was designed for relocating families: Polish is not required, all lessons are in English, newcomers to English receive additional language support, and Polish is taught by level. Mid-year entry is accepted, with academic assessment and a settling-in plan; overseas families are offered a video call. Under the statute the steps are: application, a meeting of the head with the parents, an interview with the child on basic English and Polish to place them in a class or placement on the last school report, the contract, an enrolment fee and a deposit equal to one month's tuition, and documents. A signed enrolment contract confirms the place.
Stages and year groups Grades Nursery, Reception, Year 1-13. British-style year groups: Nursery and Reception (preschool, ages 3-5, two groups of 12), Primary Years 1-6 (Polish zerówka is called Year 1), Middle School Years 7-9, Upper School Years 10-13. The English National Curriculum is combined with the Polish core curriculum; the egzamin ósmoklasisty is taken in Year 9.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
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: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.
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.
