Szczecin International School is a private primary and secondary school offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum for Primary, Middle Years and Diploma. English is the language of instruction in almost all subjects, and Polish, German, English and Danish are taught as languages and literature, with other foreign languages available. IB accreditation began with the Diploma Programme in 2005, and Primary and Middle levels were accredited in 2021, enabling an IB pathway across the school. The curriculum uses a transdisciplinary approach with Personal Projects and project‑based learning to develop key competences and prepare students for higher education and global citizenship.
The school supports arts and creativity through after‑school activity, including a school band with teachers who play instruments such as drums and guitar. Pupils organize and participate in creative events such as Christmas productions and a school talent show, and develop imaginative projects (e.g., RPG games). Diploma exhibitions and school projects provide opportunities for artistic expression and collaboration across the student body. Creativity is integrated with other learning experiences and international initiatives.
Our pupils and teachers come from 17 different countries, creating an international learning community. English is the language of instruction in almost all subjects; Polish, German, English and Danish are taught as languages and literature, with other foreign languages offered. The school participates in international activities, including Model United Nations, and Diploma level work includes exhibitions, reflecting a global orientation within the IB framework.
Learning by taking action is a core goal, helping students develop communication, social and research skills. Students organise events such as Christmas fairs and school talent shows, and they work on creative projects like RPG games, fostering teamwork and initiative. The school engages in numerous local and international initiatives, providing opportunities for student leadership and collaborative projects beyond the classroom.
Students organise charitable activities and community projects, including Christmas productions and fundraising efforts that support causes such as animal shelters. They participate in local and international initiatives through school projects and collaborations, fostering social responsibility and community engagement.
The SIS School Board serves as an advisory body to school management and includes IB coordinators, teacher representatives and NATO CORPS representatives, as well as parent representatives from various nationalities. This structure supports governance and community input in decision‑making. Diploma students gain leadership, teamwork and professional skills through IB experiences and participation in international initiatives such as Model United Nations.
