Międzynarodowe Liceum Ogólnokształcące Paderewski in Lublin was founded in 1993 by Adam Kalbarczyk and partners as Private Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Ignacego Jana Paderewskiego. The school was established under the Akademos civil partnership, with the first campus at Radziwiłłowska 5 and a Łęczna branch operating from 1994 to 2000. It pursued international programs early, achieving IB Diploma Programme authorization in 1999 and IB Middle Years Programme in 2003, with IB PYP added later for the primary. From 1995–1999 the school expanded to new buildings on Archidiakońska 6A/6B and, in 2010, Symfoniczna 1, and in 2020 leadership changes saw Agnieszka Bojczuk become liceum head while the Grupa Żagiel remained owner; bilingual classes began in 2019. The school has published Alfabet Paderewskiego (2021) and has continued to develop its international programs and campus facilities.
Paderewski emphasizes intercultural openness and community involvement. The school describes its international character through participation in international projects, exchanges with partner schools, and collaborations with organizations such as PASCH, Erasmus+, and UCAS, while maintaining a democratic and inclusive school culture. Students, teachers, alumni, and family members participate in various social and cultural activities, including annual volunteer projects and community service initiatives. The school's social initiatives engage the wider Paderewski community in charitable activities and service learning.
