Admissions

1. Recruitment for Bilingual Primary School No. 1 takes place after a positive recruitment result and after Parents/Guardians fulfill the formalities specified in the School Statute. Recruitment occurs year-round, as long as the school has vacant places. The process uses additional criteria such as whether siblings are educated at Bilingual Primary School No. 1 or at Dwujęzyczne Przedszkole abc, and the order of applications. A positive recruitment outcome is required for enrollment.

2. During recruitment, the school uses additional criteria such as whether a candidate has siblings enrolled at Bilingual Primary School No. 1 or at Dwujęzyczne Przedszkole abc, and the order in which applications are received. These criteria supplement the standard evaluation and do not guarantee admission.

3. To become a student, submit the Child's Application Form (Karta zgłoszenia dziecka) to the school secretary and pay the recruitment fee. The submission initiates the admissions sequence and the school confirms receipt. The process continues with testing and interviews as part of the admissions sequence. The school informs applicants of the next steps following submission.

4. Process for Class 1 begins with submitting the Child's Application Form at the school secretary and paying the recruitment fee. This submission starts the formal admissions sequence, and the school schedules the forthcoming assessment steps. The next stages include testing and interviews.

5. For Class 1, the candidate undergoes a competency test consisting of two parts: Part I covers knowledge and skills related to preschool education and school readiness; Part II covers knowledge of the English language. The test assesses readiness and language proficiency. The results inform eligibility for the next stage of the admissions process. The test is conducted as part of the standard admissions procedure.

6. The candidate participates in a group meeting conducted by a psychologist/educational psychologist at the school. The session assesses social interaction and readiness indicators. The psychologist's observations inform the recruitment decision. The candidate's performance is considered together with other recruitment components.

7. There is a meeting/interview with the Director of the school with the Parents/Guardians. The meeting discusses the candidate's suitability for enrollment and answers questions from the Parents/Guardians. The Director records the outcome and communicates the overall decision. The meeting is a formal part of concluding the recruitment for Class 1.

8. A summary of all recruitment stages is prepared and a positive final result is issued if the candidate meets the criteria. The final result confirms admission for Class 1. The summary consolidates the assessments from testing, group session, and the Director's review.

9. The candidate must provide documents confirming readiness for schooling or other documents issued by Psychology-Pedagogical Counseling centers. The documents are required to finalize enrollment. The school reviews these documents as part of the admissions process. The documents support the readiness assessment for school placement.

10. For classes 2–8, the recruitment process includes: submitting the Child's Application Form and paying the recruitment fee; undergoing a recruitment interview with a positive result in Polish, English, and Mathematics; participating in at least two days of school-based activities with peers (duration determined individually); and providing documents confirming promotion and the results from the lower class. The admissions sequence for 2–8 follows these steps in addition to standard evaluations.

11. The Director informs Parents/Guardians of the recruitment result within 14 days after the process ends. The notification confirms whether admission is offered. The timeline provides a clear deadline for decisions and next steps.

12. Parents/Guardians who receive a positive recruitment result must, within a period set by the school (but no later than 14 days), do the following: read the Statute of Bilingual Primary School No. 1; sign the Education Agreement at the school; complete the initial payment by the signing date; and provide the required documents, including a copy of the birth certificate and a photograph for the student's card.

Curriculum

ITSW offers a trilingual curriculum taught in English, Polish, and a third language (Spanish, French, Chinese, or Japanese) from nursery through grade 8. In Grades 1–3, mathematics and science are taught bilingually (English with Polish or English with French), while language, literature, and social studies are taught trilingually (English and Polish with Spanish or French or Chinese or Japanese). OPOL (One Person – One Language) and daily language immersion with native-speaking teachers underpin the program. The curriculum is organized into trimester modules focused on UN Sustainable Development Goals, with international projects, field trips, and after-school workshops offered in six languages. In Grades 7–8, students prepare for the eighth-grade exam and Cambridge assessments (Checkpoint and IGCSE), with mentoring for the next stage of their education.

Student Teacher Ratio

Small class sizes; teachers are native speakers, with most staff trained in the United States.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Student Wellbeing and Agency is a core part of ITSW's approach. The Wellbeing & Student Agency program gives students space to express themselves, make decisions, and co-create their school life. The program is supported by a student government, personalized teacher care, and the presence of a wellbeing coach and specialists. It emphasizes emotional and social growth, helping students develop empathy, resilience, and agency to navigate a rapidly changing world. ITSW aims for students to feel part of a community that supports growth in harmony with themselves.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

ITSW uses three-language instruction: English, Polish, and a third language (French, Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese) across core subjects. The trilingual path uses the OPOL (One Person – One Language) method and language immersion to develop literacy and cognitive skills in all three languages. A common curriculum is delivered in English, Polish, and the chosen third language, with computer science and STEAM taught in English. Native-speaking teachers and educational specialists support students across ages. The program develops trilingual proficiency and 21st-century competencies, preparing students for local and international education. Language profiles are tailored to each student as they progress through nursery to middle school.
