The curriculum aims to optimally prepare students for the International Baccalaureate Diploma and future university study. It consists of two stages: Pre-IB in Grade 1 and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 2 and 3. In Grade 1, languages of instruction are Polish and English and the curriculum blends the Polish core with IB preparation. In Grades 2 and 3, students follow the IB Diploma Programme with six subject groups, an Extended Essay, CAS, and Theory of Knowledge, and the diploma is recognised by universities worldwide.
Art and music are integrated into the programme. Students take mandatory music and art classes and participate in theatre activities, including a theatre group and an international Spring Concert; there are opportunities to attend cultural events in the city such as theatre, opera and ballet, and the school exhibits student art regularly. In the IB CAS, students engage in creative tasks under supervision.
From Grade 2, English is the language of instruction. The school also teaches the mother tongues of its students as well as German and Spanish. English language learning is organised to prepare students for the IB Diploma Programme.
Extracurricular activities promote holistic development through classes preparing for competitions, special interest groups, and sports teams. Student and parent input is welcomed, and the school arranges activities and long-term projects aligned with student interests. These activities enrich daily school life with ongoing projects and events.
Voluntary Service emphasizes learning through experience and cooperation. In the first year, students undertake Community Service, planning activities for the year and keeping a journal, supervised by the programme coordinator. In the IB Diploma Programme, voluntary service is a mandatory component of CAS with a minimum of 150 hours and is supervised by the CAS Coordinator, with collaboration with external foundations and associations.
School projects include Model United Nations participation and annual Career Days to support leadership development and career exploration. Students present MYP projects and build professional skills through the school's long-term projects and connections with universities and employers.
