Executive summary
This is the first edition of an annual report: one sourced picture of Wrocław's international and IB schools and the housing market around them, for families deciding whether and where to relocate. It is published with data compiled from school websites; see InternationalSchools.net for the directory view of the same schools. Every school fact here comes from the school's own site, checked on 6 November 2026; every housing figure is my own read of the live rental market, labelled as such.
The headline numbers for 2026/27:
- 12 campuses offer an international or IB programme, of which 2 are public and free (Primary School No. 108 in Nadodrze and Liceum nr V in Huby).
- 7 of the 12 are authorised IB World Schools; the other 5 follow Cambridge, English National Curriculum or Canadian immersion programmes.
- Only 2 schools publish fees that convert to an annual figure — the British International School (BISC) and IPS International School (two campuses). Their published range, derived by multiplying the stated monthly instalment by the stated number of instalments, is 36,850–51,600 PLN a year. Six campuses quote on request; two publish per-instalment amounts without a period.
- Campuses cluster in the south-west. Nine of the twelve sit in Krzyki or Grabiszyn, with four on a single address at ul. Racławicka 101. The exceptions are Maple Bear in Przedmieście Oławskie, Cosmopolitan in Muchobór Mały and SP 108 in Nadodrze.
- Rents near the clusters are mid-market for Wrocław: 2-bedroom flats roughly 3,000–5,000 PLN a month, against a citywide 2-bedroom band of roughly 3,200–5,500 PLN.
The companion articles go deeper: the international schools guide has the map and per-school cards, where to live near the schools walks each district, and fees versus rent turns the figures into a family budget.
Methodology
I apply four rules, because a wrong fee printed next to a school's name is a complaint waiting to happen and a wrong rent is a disappointed family.
- Official sources only. Every programme, age range, address and fee comes from the school's own website or fee PDF. No figure is taken from a directory, an agent or a forum. Each entry records the page used and the date checked — all twelve were verified on 6 November 2026.
- Derived annual fees are labelled. Where a school publishes a monthly instalment and the number of instalments (for example "4,800 PLN × 10"), I multiply them and mark the result as derived. Where a school publishes an amount without a period — ASW and Maple Bear — I quote the amount as published and do not annualise it.
- "On request" is a data point, not a gap. Six campuses do not publish fees. The report says so rather than estimating.
- Housing is my local read, separately labelled. The rent bands come from my current lettings work and live portal listings for 2–3-room flats in each district, rounded and prefixed "roughly". They are orientation, not a valuation, and the citywide context is from my cost of living and investment pages.
Fees are for the school year the school states — 2026/27 for IPS, 2025/26 for BISC and ASW — because not every school had published 2026/27 figures at the checking date. One-time fees (registration, enrolment, exam entries) are listed separately and excluded from the annual range.

Table 2 — fee transparency scorecard
Families budgeting from abroad need a number before they can decide whether a move is viable. This scorecard grades each campus on what a parent can learn from the website alone, not on the level of the fee.
| Transparency level | Campuses | What a parent can do with it |
|---|---|---|
| A — publishes an annual-equivalent fee (monthly amount and number of instalments stated) | BISC; IPS Primary & Lower Secondary; IPS Upper Secondary | Build a full-year budget from the website. Range across these three: 36,850–51,600 PLN. |
| B — publishes per-instalment amounts only (period not stated) | American School of Wrocław; Maple Bear Wrocław | Know the order of magnitude; must email to learn how many instalments make a year. |
| C — fees on request | Wrocław International School; International High School of Wrocław; ATUT; Liceum EKOLA (DP classes); Wrocław Cosmopolitan School | No budget possible from the website. EKOLA does publish a 200 PLN DP1 exam fee. |
| Free — public school | Primary School No. 108; Liceum nr V | No tuition. SP 108 is catchment-based, so the address matters; V LO sets an English test for its MYP class. |
The scorecard yields a simple statistic: 3 of 10 private campuses (2 schools) let a family compute a year's fee from public information. Five private campuses publish nothing. That is the single biggest friction in Wrocław's international-school market for relocating families, and it is why the "roughly 37,000–52,000 PLN a year per child where published" line in my cost of living guide carries the caveat it does.
One-time fees, where published, range from 800 PLN (IPS admission process) to 3,200 PLN (ASW registration), with 2,290–2,990 PLN at IPS and 2,800 PLN at BISC in between. Public exam entries at BISC are extra.
Table 3 — housing near each school cluster
The twelve campuses resolve into five housing clusters. Rent bands are my local read for 2–3-room (2-bedroom) flats, rounded, as of autumn 2026; "stock" describes what is actually on the market, not the whole district.
| Cluster | Schools served | Districts | Housing stock | 2-bedroom rent, roughly | Transport |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Racławicka campus (Grabiszyn) | WIS, IHSW, ATUT, EKOLA | Grabiszyn, Grabiszynek, Oporów, Gądów, Muchobór Mały | Quiet streets by Park Grabiszyński; mid-price blocks and new estates to the west | 3,000–4,500 PLN | Tram on Grabiszyńska; strong bus links |
| Powstańców Śląskich corridor (Krzyki) | IPS Primary, IPS Upper Secondary, BISC | Powstańców Śląskich, Gaj, Huby, Borek, Południe | Dense, well-served; many new-build rentals; villa streets in Borek | 3,200–4,800 PLN | Trams 2/6/7/17 along Powstańców Śląskich |
| Partynice (south Krzyki) | ASW | Partynice, Ołtaszyn, Klecina | Houses and new low-rise estates | 3,500–5,000 PLN | Bus or car; no tram to the campus |
| Centre-east and Huby | Maple Bear, V LO | Przedmieście Oławskie, Huby, Gaj, Tarnogaj, Stare Miasto edge | Renovated tenements, new infill; walkable to the centre | 3,500–5,000 PLN (Oławskie); Huby towards the lower end of 3,200–4,800 | Southern tram lines; teenagers commute alone |
| West and north | Cosmopolitan (Muchobór Mały), SP 108 (Nadodrze) | Muchobór Mały, Popowice, Gądów Mały, Szczepin; Nadodrze, Ołbin, Kleczków | Big new-build supply west of centre; tenements renovated street by street in the north | 3,200–4,800 PLN (west); 2,800–4,200 PLN (Nadodrze) | Tram plus Wrocław Mikołajów rail (west); trams across the Odra (north) |
Context from the wider market: the citywide 2-bedroom band is roughly 3,200–5,500 PLN and 3-bedroom-plus roughly 4,200–7,500 PLN; the average rent for a 40–59 m² flat sits around 3,100 PLN. Wrocław prices stopped climbing in 2025–26 (secondary-market transaction prices roughly 12,600 PLN/m², primary roughly 14,300 PLN/m², year-on-year flat to slightly negative) while rents held, which the Wrocław property market 2026 report and my investment page cover in detail. For a family staying three years or more, that combination makes buying near a school cluster worth modelling against renting; for a two-year posting, renting remains the default.
What differs from the directory view
Directories such as InternationalSchools.net are the natural starting point for a relocating family, and this report is designed to sit next to them rather than replace them. Checking each school's official site did, however, produce two neutral clarifications worth recording, because a family planning around a directory entry alone could be surprised.
- ATUT is a primary school. Its official name is Dwujęzyczna Szkoła Podstawowa ATUT and it covers zerówka to grade 8 (ages roughly 6–15), with the IB MYP from grade 6. The directory slug describes it as "primary and secondary"; per the school's own site, secondary education on the Racławicka campus continues at the International High School of Wrocław, a separate school under the same foundation.
- IPS is a Cambridge school, not an IB school. Both IPS campuses follow Cambridge programmes — Primary and Lower Secondary at Drukarska, IGCSE, A Level and OxfordAQA at Powstańców Śląskich — with "PYP-style" early years described on their site. Neither campus is listed as an IB World School, and the report counts them accordingly.
Neither point is a criticism of any directory; programmes change and directories depend on schools updating them. It is simply why this report uses official sources only and records the check date.
Five takeaways for relocating families
- Decide the school before the flat. Nine of twelve campuses are in the south-west; two of the three exceptions (SP 108, Cosmopolitan) pull you north or west. The school choice reduces the housing search to one or two districts, and my district-by-district guide does the rest.
- Email for fees early. Only BISC and IPS let you budget from the website. For the other eight private campuses, the fee schedule arrives by email, and you cannot compare a 48,000 PLN A Level year with an "on request" DP year until you have it.
- The public IB schools are real options — with conditions. SP 108 is catchment-based, so the rental address decides eligibility, and it teaches in Polish. V LO sets an English test for its MYP class and runs the DP in klasy 3–4. For families who will settle in Poland, both are worth a visit before any private shortlist.
- Teenagers widen the map, small children narrow it. A DP student rides the tram alone from Śródmieście, Huby or Grabiszyn; a six-year-old at ASW needs a parent with a car in Partynice. Plan the commute, not just the distance — see IB Diploma schools for teenagers for the upper-secondary calendar.
- Budget fees and rent together. At the published top of the range, one child's fees (roughly 50,000 PLN) equal roughly a year of 2-bedroom rent in Krzyki at 4,200 PLN a month. The fees-versus-rent article runs that for one, two and three children, and the neighbourhoods guide shows where the rent side can give.
How this report will be updated
A report is only useful if the dates on it are honest, so the update rhythm is fixed:
- Each May, when schools publish next year's fees, every fee row is re-checked against the official page and the school year on each row is advanced. Any school moving from "on request" to a published figure moves up the transparency scorecard.
- Each term, open days and admissions deadlines are refreshed — for instance IPS Upper Secondary's open day on Saturday 21 November 2026 at 10:00 — and new campuses or programme changes are added.
- Each quarter, the housing table follows my own lettings data and the market figures on the investment page, which track NBP's quarterly transaction data.
Every row keeps its source page and check date. If you are a school and your data here is out of date, write to me and it will be corrected against your official page. The dataset is the same one behind the map in the international schools guide.
FAQ
How many international schools are there in Wrocław?
Twelve campuses offer an international or IB programme as of November 2026: ten private and two public. Seven are authorised IB World Schools; the rest follow Cambridge, English National Curriculum or Canadian immersion programmes. Four of the twelve share one address at ul. Racławicka 101 in Grabiszyn.
What do international schools in Wrocław cost per year?
Where a full-year figure can be derived from official pages, 36,850 to 51,600 PLN a year (IPS and BISC, 2025/26–2026/27). The American School and Maple Bear publish per-instalment amounts without a period, five campuses quote on request, and the two public IB schools are free.
Which Wrocław international schools are free?
Two public IB World Schools: Primary School No. 108 in Nadodrze (IB PYP and MYP, grades 1–8, taught in Polish, catchment-based) and Liceum nr V in Huby (IB MYP in klasy 1–2, IB DP in klasy 3–4, English test for the MYP class). Neither charges tuition.
Where do families with children at international schools live in Wrocław?
Mostly in the south-west: Grabiszyn, Oporów and Krzyki around the Racławicka campus; the Powstańców Śląskich corridor for IPS and BISC; Partynice, Ołtaszyn and Klecina for the American School. Two-bedroom flats in these areas rent for roughly 3,000–5,000 PLN a month.
Where do the figures in this report come from?
School facts come only from each school's official website or fee PDF, checked on 6 November 2026, with derived annual fees labelled as monthly amount times stated instalments. Rent bands are Karina's local read of live listings and lettings, rounded and marked roughly. No figures are taken from directories.
