For expat families moving to Kraków, finding a good international school will be a top priority. Key factors to consider include the school’s curriculum, language of instruction, location and price range. Parents should try to secure a spot for their child as far in advance as possible, as spaces can fill up quickly, especially in the more prestigious schools.

Expat Experiences

"Unless you plan to be here for a long time and are prepared to immerse yourself in the language, the three international schools are your best options. They all offer tuition for all age groups and have their own merits. We really love our school, Embassy International School, because of the small class sizes, pioneering spirit and value-based leadership." Learn about Leonie's experience as a South African expat in Krakow in her interview.
